Alison Kelly Gallery is one of Melbourne's foremost Contemporary Indigenous Art galleries, committed to exhibiting quality Indigenous art. Established in 2000, Alison Kelly Gallery has recently relocated to Albert Street, Richmond, Melbourne's exciting new art gallery precinct.

Through its regularly changing exhibitions, the Gallery showcases the works of artists from across Australia, including the Western Desert, Utopia, Arnhem Land, Balgo Hills and The Kimberley. The Gallery also has a comprehensive selection of artworks in its stockroom including works by some of Australia's most significant Indigenous artists. The artwork covers a broad spectrum including painting, works on paper, sculpture and traditional tribal artifacts on bark, wood and fibre. Alison Kelly Gallery actively supports both established artists, and emerging younger artists thus encouraging the development of a continuing and sustainable tradition of art practice.

Alison Kelly Gallery is committed to showing artworks that are ethically sourced directly from Aboriginal Art Centres. Alison Kelly makes regular trips to outback Australia and works closely with Art Centre co-ordinators to present a dynamic and varied exhibition schedule. Alison has established ties with art co-operatives across Australia, including Ernabella Arts, Red Rock Art, Maningrida and Tiwi Design.
