UP Space Gallery Now Calling for Proposals

UP Space Gallery is established by the artists' collective, Ultimo Project Studios Inc.  It is an Artist’s Run Space and a not-for-profit organisation.  Its inauguration began last year with the group’s Salon Show.

The aim is to provide a space to enter into a dialogue of visual arts for both unrepresented professional artists and emerging artists.
