SCOTT LIVESEY GALLERIES

Scott Livesey Galleries in Prahran

Scott Livesey Galleries sits on High Street in Prahran, where it's become known for serious contemporary art. The location puts it right in the middle of the suburb's arts scene, surrounded by other independent galleries, boutiques, and creative spaces. Collectors, emerging artists, and people just keen on art come through to see what's on the walls. Prahran itself has built a genuine reputation as a centre for visual culture in Melbourne's inner east, which makes sense for where this gallery ended up.

You can visit Tuesday to Saturday, or ring ahead for a Monday appointment if you'd prefer something quieter and more one-on-one. The High Street location means it's easy to pop in while checking out the other galleries, cafes, and cultural spots that have popped up around the neighbourhood.

Art in All Directions

Scott Livesey Galleries handles work across abstract, figurative, landscape, portraiture and still life. You'll see established painters and sculptors working alongside newer artists, all doing their own thing with contemporary art. The mix means there's something for different tastes and approaches, rather than chasing a single style or look.

The gallery puts real weight behind Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists. There's a dedicated section of the website and regular shows featuring First Nations creators. By hanging Indigenous work next to other contemporary pieces, the gallery gives a more genuine picture of what contemporary Australian art looks like now.

Exhibitions, Artists and Ongoing Programming

The gallery maintains a steady stream of exhibitions that reflects what its represented artists are doing and what's happening across contemporary art more broadly. The exhibitions page keeps you updated on what's currently on show and what's coming next, while the artists section profiles the practitioners whose work the gallery represents and supports. Scott Livesey Galleries isn't just a place to buy art; it's an active player in Melbourne's contemporary art world.

The gallery also runs a stockroom you can browse through, keeps a catalogue archive, and works with associated artists whose practice aligns with the gallery's focus. Regular news and updates keep people in the loop about new work and developments. If you're an artist keen to exhibit or collaborate, you can reach out via the contact form, which includes a dedicated option for artist submissions.
