 A Bit A History for y'all:

Renowned Gallery Per Square Metre was started in 2006 to fill a gap in the commercial gallery market- that of an affordable,accessable, 100% artist run space. The main goals being to promote,inspire and motivate; underground, up-n-coming and amateur artists and help them break into the

commercial market.

Per Square Metre encourages INCLUSIVE creativity and is well respected in the scene due to their unpretentious skill sharing,knowledge and passion

for all people and things creative. As a studio, their prolific collaborative work in group murals and exhibitions is well known and sought after.

The Studio has housed artists such as Bernard Romerona, Dabs & Myla, Sear, Dvate,Porno, Ling, Mayo, Sigs and numerous other nomadic artists from Australia and around the globe. These artists and the Gallery have been instrumental to raising the profile of street art and graffiti in the legitimate art scene.

The News:

On May 31st 2010, Per Square Metre will close its doors for the last time. Due to foreseen circumstances with dodgy landlords and the general gentrification of Collingwood, Per Square Metre is shutting up shop until a new suitable premises can be found to continue bringing you some light love and liquor.

The Show:

After four and a half years and over two hundred exhibitions by Australian and International artists, Per Square Metre is now closing its doors with this fitting last exhibition by co-owners and artists - Dvate and Sear.

Along with a few ‘special guests’ they will be showcasing a variety of new works, pushing the boundaries between graffiti and fine art. The show alone is already creating interest locally and overseas and with the added draw of being the final show at Per Square Metre it is sure to be an event not to be missed.
