Myself and two friends hired Studio 551 for our art exhibition opening night and gallery viewing. The venue had everything we needed including a hanging system, back storage area, plinths, trestle table and fridge all for what we felt was a very reasonable price. Fabian was incredibly helpful and responsive to queries and the process for booking and setting up the space was simple and stress free. The venue itself was ideal; high ceilings, great lighting, clean, excellent location, air conditioned and was the perfect size for three artists and really helped to elevate and showcase our work as effectively as possible. We received a lot of positive feedback from our friends, family and walk-ins who came to see the show, so the space was also equally enjoyed by our patrons. Would definitely recommend and hire again, thank you Fabian!

Fabian is also a fantastic venue host. He's really there to support artists and small businesses. Definitely reccomend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

About Studio 551

Studio 551 is a creative space incorporating a photography studio and gallery space for hire in the south end of King St Newtown. Only a 5 min walk from St Peters station or 9 minutes from Newtown station, we’re right in the middle of everything the precinct has to offer.

The space consists of a 50 square metre open floor plan with 3.7 metre high ceiling and polished concrete floor. A separate change room with workspace for hair and makeup plus a toilet. We’ve designed the space to be as flexible as possible allowing it to be used as a photographic studio, art gallery or event hosting.

With abundant natural light, the space provides ample scope for small-scale photography sessions. The exposed bricks and polished concrete floor provide a refined industrial backdrop. We also have a 2-head Hensel flash system and coloured paper roll backdrops available for hire.

Configured as an art space, it has capacity for up to 25 medium scale works with hanging available across all walls and the King St facing windows with lots of foot traffic to see your work.
