SBG Fine Arts Gallery

The artwork here is always interesting. An eclectic collection of styles and mediums.

I love this gallery! It is more like a gallery in New York City than what you normally find in a sleepy historic town like downtown Melbourne! It is a smaller gallery that focuses on one or two artists at a time. But the art shown is large in scale. They usually pair a painter with a sculptor. The art is always very unique and often abstract, instead of the usual ocean scapes, birds, turtles, etc. you often find in the galleries in Melbourne. (I've been going to this gallery about once a month since it relocated to Melbourne's historic district. The owner told me she usually changes exhibits (artists) about every 6 weeks and there is always an exhibition opening with refreshments where you can meet the local artists she shows. While the gallery looks extremely professional, the Owner, Susan Giblin, and the artists, have always been extremely friendly, down to earth, and answer all my questions without making me feel intimidated, like in many other galleries I've been to in bigger cities. Going here to view and shop for art has been a pleasure every time!
