Founded by arts professional Abbey Telfer and her mother Lynette, the gallery's mission is to provide a permanent exhibition platform for emerging and mid-career Western Australian artists, who often lack such dedicated spaces. Its debut exhibition, 'DEBUT,' will feature works from 20 local artists.
