Up Gallery is located in Sassafras village in the Dandenong Ranges..
Several artists micro galleries also operate on the site in pod containers.
In the first weeks of May 2023, after a busy open studios weekend,
30+ artists quietly filled the walls with art, heart and a bit of bravado.
A dream soon became a reality as we all wanted a place to exhibit our art and this has now become a hub for many established and emerging artists on the mountain to collaborate and showcase their work.
Our gallery hosts a vibrant bi-monthly calendar of new exhibitions
showcasing exceptional art by creatives who live the mountain.
Up Artisans Inc. has currently 30 exhibiting members who with a committee of management operate the gallery, giftshop and workshops.
If you want to connect with like minded people, explore ideas and conversations around visual arts, meet other artists then pop up to our fortnightly exhibition openings on every other Thursday night.
Our full Summer fine-art workshop program is now listed on workshops page for all details and bookings. Painting, Botanical, Sculpture and more.
You can also apply to run workshops at the gallery, so please email details - we are keen to add in more ceramics, printmaking and painting classes.

We use Australia Post (for works under 100cm wide) - prices from $80-$100 are a good guide for Australia only deliveries.
Other carriers for local deliveries will require a private courier quote and we aim to find the most competitive quote for you. All freight costs are added to the price of goods purchased.
Any import taxes (if applicable) will be the responsibility of the customer.
Local services like Pack and Send are best for reliable and insurable deliveries for your international shipping as we have limited packing facilities for larger exports so they're a preferred shipping handler.
