The staff at RMIT Gallery would like to extend a happy holiday season to everyone and to thank you for your ongoing support of our exhibitions, public programs and events.

RMIT Gallery is taking a break at the end of the year and will be closed for the holidays from Tuesday 25 December 2018, and will reopen on Wednesday 2 January 2019.

At the recent opening of Analogue Art in a Digital World, the heavy rain it didn’t stop the crowds or dampen the high spirits. This is traditional painting show – with many twists!

Check out the opening night photos by Vicki Jones on Facebook.

Analogue Art in a Digital world runs until 19 January. Get your free e-catalogue here.
