Home of Australian artists, Bluethumb offers a huge range of affordable and original artwork — making beautiful artwork available for everyone and every budget.

“Our friendly Melbourne team can’t wait to welcome you in and help you discover the incredible local artistic talent.”
More than just an exhibition space, this three-level building is also where the gallerists and other staff have their office.
“The gallery not only holds exhibitions but also serves as a space for artists’ workshops. The third level can also be booked for meetings and to commission works with the gallery staff. We’ve got an incredibly active closed Facebook group with over 3000 artists that we’ve grown over the years — it’s a whole community.”
