Description
Agent TypeOrganisationActivities & OccupationsArt galleriesHistoryGryphon Gallery was established in 1972 as part of the Melbourne CAE. The Gallery exhibited works by arts and craft staff and students but was also encouragingly available to artists & craftspeople in Melbourne, interstate and overseas. The gallery aimed to provide professional space for the display of work which would build a reputation amongst tertiary institutions and the general public. It also aimed to be place on campus where staff & students could make contact with developments in the visual arts - an important alternative to commercial galleries. The gallery ceased to operate in 1991 (?) and after undergoing alterations is now used as a conference room and available 'space' in the Graduate Centre (1888) building.
