Our primary mission is to provide affordable spaces for artists to share their unique perspectives and for art lovers to follow our artists and discover new work for their collections.
We continue activations as a not for profit collective
to promote our works online and in pop up events or field days.

Founded in 2023, by Jacqui Christians, UP GALLERY SASSAFRAS
has been a cornerstone space for our local art community to exhibit.
We curated over 30 exhibitions and opening events, proudly featuring over 64 artists from the Dandenong Ranges region.
In 2025 we closed the gallery as the director moved to a new region.
Up Gallery acknowledges the Wurundjeri People of the Kulin Nation, who are the Traditional Custodians of the land upon which we gather to share art and creative community,. We acknowledge Aboriginal connection to creative practice on these lands for more than 65,000 years and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
Up Gallery is an artists run initiative as a not for profit association UP ARTISANS INC. A0122250U ABN 53452638663
