Lightbox
- Exhibitions
Salamanca Art Centre’s most intimate venue, encountered even before passing through the front doors.
Commanding the best public location in Salamanca Place, the Lightbox is a square metre of window space available to selected artists to install works that utilise the attributes of this special exhibition space. This gallery is part of Salamanca Arts Centre’s subsidised Access Galleries Program and is available to Salamanca Arts Centre’s Associate Members and Resident Artists.
The Lightbox is a window space located at the main entrance to the Salamanca Arts Centre on Salamanca Place, and can be viewed 24 hours a day.
Salamanca Arts Centre encourages artists to interpret the space with installations that best reflect the Lightbox dimensions and location.
