1301SW was founded in 2022 in Naarm/Melbourne’s inner-south, embracing the region while having strong roots internationally. Extending from its Melbourne base, the gallery expanded its unique and ambitious exhibition program to Gadigal/Sydney with the opening of a second gallery space in late 2024.

1301SW acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the land on which we live and work, the people of the Kulin and Eora Nations. We pay respect to Elders past and present, and recognise their continued connection to culture, land, waters and community.
