About ONE88
Welcome to Gallery ONE88 Fine Arts. ONE88 is a curated exhibition space that enables established and emerging Artists the opportunity to display their works in the centre of Katoomba - The City of the Arts.
Located on Katoomba Street, ONE88 takes full advantage of the high levels of pedestrian traffic as well as the high number of tourists that visit this jewel of the Blue Mountains National Park. With direct main road frontage and expansive window exhibiting areas, Artists are provided maximum exposure and opportunity to share their creative works with the public and of course, potential buyers and art collectors.
As ONE88’s Directors are artists themselves, the benefits of understanding, not only the curatorial needs but also the emotional rollercoaster that comes with exhibiting your works, allows for an experience that will see you returning for show after show.
A big part of ONE88's ethos is ONE88's low fee structure with 15% + gst for exhibitions and 25% + gst for consignment work. We are not just a gallery - ONE88 also has a workshop space available for hire and with frequent events occurring you will always find artists networking and wandering the floors taking in the inspiration.
