The pieces of art are absolutely beautiful and originals. You wouldn't find the same piece ever again. Like a naughty child I wanted to take photos of everything. Unfortunately photography is not permitted in the shop so the few shots I took are from the outside. Prices are dear....but then again so is the price for paying for an original piece of art. There is a great deal of Australiana in the shop and caters for the tourist with money. There is also a large range of blown glass of many different colours. If you are setting up house for the first time...this could be the place to go.

Striking, geometric, and original! Wow this is one incredible gallery…read more All the paintings and sculptures are by the one artist. There is something for everyone...if you have the money that is. Let's face it..original art is not cheap and if I had a few thousand to spare and wanted a striking painting on a wall I would go here. A number of paintings are in red and black..I suppose catering for the Asian clientele..but they are so beautiful I found it hard to pick which painting was my favourite. With three floors of paintings I could have spent all night there. One impressive painting was of David Beckham with his very chiselled face. Half the body was in a suit ..as he often is posing as a model and the other half is in just his underwear. My oh my...very hot painting. I will be back to see the range when I have more time.

Charles has led a fascinating life, starting out in the Ballet in Rijeka, and also writing political satires, he was thrown into prison, sentenced to 10 years. He was inexplicably released after 2 years, and went to Austria to seek Political Asylum. That was where he first studied art. His style is distinctive. Famous for his vibrant Cityscapes, his Surreals and gorgeous Figuratives, there's something for everyone. The gallery features Limited Edition Prints, Original Oil on Canvas, original drawings and mixed media. Ask one of the staff to show you the difference between all of these, we will be happy to! It's a lovely gallery to stroll through and immerse yourself in the art. Be sure to say Hi when you pop in!

Sydney had lost one of her raddest venues and a place renowned for putting on ace performances, plays, sales, exhibitions and just about anything else you can think of. It was making way for a bakery. Now, I'm all for baked goods, but Sydney can't afford to lose little gems like this that add something irreplaceable to the fabric of this damned fine city. Huzzah, then, that District 01 has risen - phoenix-like! - from the ashes of corporate suckitude and is reincarnated in Randle Lane, a small, clean alleyway near Central Station and the place is cooler than ever. HUZZAH I SAY. I attended the relaunch party last night and while there were canapes and live tunes and drinks what I really got excited about was the venue: a white-walled space ready to be transformed into whatever, whenever. A blank canvas waiting for imagination to recreate it into anything the user desires. Light globes hang low from the ceiling. Entry is up the stairs of a repurposed loading dock. And . . . there's just something about partying in a secret alleyway that makes me feel cooler than I probably (er, actually) am.

Down a little alleyway off a quiet street, there's a set of door with a sign on them that reads "District 01". Inside is a converted warehouse with white floors, walls and ceiling and a few stacks of white pallets. I was here for a Yelp event so the projector was beaming District 01 offers with intermittent Yelp logos. The night was fairly warm and humid but the venue remained cool enough even though it was packed with people. This is defo worth keeping in mind if you're an event coordinator/PR/marketing peep looking for cool, new venues for events.

Located in the middle of the city, within walking distance. You are allowed to take photos here, avoid the flash. Came here to see their amazing European art collection. Claude Monet's Port Goulphar 1887, beautiful color with detailed brushstrokes. One of my favorite paintings. Vincent Van Gogh's hand of a peasant 1884 was great, lot's of people checking this one out. Another must see was Pablo Picasso's reclining women on a couch 1939. You can get lost in his paintings. I made sure to take time to walk through the Australian art section. I enjoyed seeing the paintings on the animal hides and showcasing so much history. Lot's of talented local artists.

There are a range of art styles displayed and the large glass windows are inviting and give you a sneak peak of what is inside. As the gallery is situated on the main road in Kings Cross (near the large Coca Cola billboard), drivers can get a glimpse at the wonderful art. The guides and assistants at the gallery are very friendly and are not pretentious or intimidating. There is plenty of parking available- a rare treat in the city these days! The exhibitions are well put together and there is plenty of space to walk. Unfortunately, the museum is closed on Sunday and Monday, which is hugely inconvenient for those who enjoy art viewing on a Sunday afternoon.

Located in Paddington, The Butler Goode Gallery arranges some of the leading exhibitions in the whole city. The specialties of this gallery include exclusive offerings of European and World art, Contemporary Australian art, and Aboriginal art. I would definitely say that The Butler Goode Gallery is one-of-a-kind in Sydney, perhaps even Australia as a whole. Its director, who's from the UK, is truly passionate about bringing artwork to Australians that would have never before been obtainable. I had the opportunity to pass by the gallery for a special event. November 5th was the first anniversary of the Gallery's opening and there was a special get-together to celebrate this milestone. In addition to featuring some beautiful pieces (as usual) there were really nifty live demonstrations from resident artists. Of course, the prices for artwork sold here are pretty steep, but the connection you have with a painting is priceless.

This is a well-established gallery that has helped build many collections over the years. They have an extensive range of artworks from the 19th, 20th, and 21st century from celebrated artists such as Charles Blackman, Arthur Boyd, Norman Lindsey, and Robert Dickenson. And if you happen to love Graeme Townsend's work, this gallery is the only place in NSW that sells his art. Their collection is beautiful and diverse while their staff are knowledgeable and very helpful. And while it wouldn't be the gallery itself you'd be looking at, this is one of the most beautifully decorated galleries you'll ever visit. Highly recommended!
