About Salmon Galleries

The Philosophy of the Gallery

The philosophy of the gallery is to exhibit high quality artworks by contemporary Australian and International artists who have solid and growing reputations in the art world.

sg_gallery_feb08_judithWith this aim in mind, Salmon Galleries selects original paintings, etchings, sculpture and ceramics by a range of talented people whose artworks promise the collector, lifestyle and long term financial enrichment.

Our exhibition policy ensures that private and corporate collectors can be confident that the artists represented have already attained a position of renown in the contemporary, Australian art world, or are committed to securing that status in the future.

The gallery provides a complete service to our clients – some of which are described on this website. For more details, please feel free to call and see us or Contact Us.

About Us

With an academic background in art history and theory, and ten years experience in the arts industry, salmon_galleries_oldest_lliving_artgallery director Judith Salmon is committed to promoting an informed appreciation for modern Australian art, including contemporary Aboriginal art.

At Salmon Galleries we hold regular and changing exhibitions of paintings, sculpture and works on paper. To support these exhibitions, Salmon Galleries has a free ‘After Hours’ program of talks and social events on a range of art-related subjects such as Printmaking, Mixed Media Art Practice, Art Collecting and aspects of Australian Art History.

Judith is assisted at the gallery by Anna Harpley, a practicing sculptor with tertiary qualifications in the visual arts.
