Up Gallery was located in Sassafras village in the Dandenong Ranges. Several artists micro galleries also operate on the site in pod stylecontainers.
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 had a place to exhibit our art and this become a hub for many artists living on the mountain to collaborate and showcase their work.
Up Artisans Inc. has over 20 artist members based in the Dandenong Ranges and a committee who operate our association.
We will continue to showcase our works in bi-annual activations since our Sassafras gallery closed in February 2025.
