About The Mill’s Galleries
The Mill’s galleries are located on the window frontage of our building at 154 Angas Street. Gallery I has a rectangle footprint with approx 16.4 linear metres of hanging wall space, and 38.8 square metres of floor space. Gallery I is oriented prominently at the front of The Mill’s building with a large window facing Angas Street. It sits adjacent Gallery II, The Mill's office, Foyer and Creative Industry studios. The Galleries have professional lighting, wall mountable screens, two projectors and a number of plinths available for artists to use.
The Mill is a growing organisation, and as such we endeavour to pay NAVA rate artist fees, as well as providing curatorial support and modest production costs, however this funding is unconfirmed. Before applying, please consider whether this project is viable for you without confirmation of these fees. And keep your fingers crossed for us! We no longer charge gallery hire to artists in the Visual Arts Program. Submitting a proposal is no guarantee of acceptance.
We want to make the application process easy to navigate, please get in contact if you have any questions or need assistance. Email The Mill’s Visual Arts Curator Adele Sliuzas: visualarts@themilladelaide.com
