George Paton Gallery

Keep up to date with our programming for special exhibitions and programs which celebrate and engage with our proud and vibrant legacy.

The George Paton Gallery is a contemporary art gallery presenting projects by University of Melbourne students. We encourage experimental, collaborative, and education-focused approaches to contemporary art and related projects and provide a supportive platform for student artists, writers and curators.

Our ethos emerges from a significant history of experimental arts practice, with the George Paton Gallery (est. 1974) becoming the first institutionally supported space of its kind in Australia, and a model for subsequent centres of contemporary art. Within our histories lie forecasts of critical and emerging shifts across the arts landscape in Australia, including feminist practice, the use of new media, the phenomenon of the “Curator” and the return(s) of painting. 

The GPG is free to attend, and we invite proposals from students from all departments to participate in our program. To keep in touch please sign up for our fortnightly e-news to see our events, exhibitions, workshops and more.

We, at Arts Programs, acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land on which our events take place, the Boon Wurrung and Wurundjeri people. We acknowledge that this is stolen land and that sovereignty has never been ceded. It always was and always will be, Aboriginal land.
