Spaces you could use
A sample of what is on the platform right now. Tell the concierge what you need and we will source against your brief.
Space for
artists
Exhibition and studio space by the day, week or month. Rooms with walls you can actually hang on, light you can work in, and no lease at the end of it.

Tell us what you need
Pop Up Space - Sydney
Exhibition space with walls you can actually hang on
Tell us what you are showing or making, roughly how much room you need and when. We find spaces that suit it and confirm the things that decide whether a show is possible at all, rather than the things that look good in a listing. Where the right room is not advertised we approach it directly, which is how a lot of the better project spaces get used.
What artists get
01
The walls decide the show
Track systems, what takes a fixing, wall height and how much uninterrupted run there is. Confirmed before you fall for the photographs.
02
Light, and when it is there
Which way the windows face and what time the room loses it. An opening happens at six, not at noon.
03
By the day, week or month
A weekend show, a fortnight exhibition or a month of studio time, without a lease.
Why artists choose Spacenow
Exhibition rooms
Gallery and project spaces with wall run and lighting you can actually assess before you book.
Activation and installation
Rooms with height, floor loading and access for work that is built rather than hung.
Studio and project space
Room to make or finish work, with ventilation, water and mess acceptable where you need it.
Opening night handled
Standing capacity, drinks and the finish time settled at the same time as the space.
Studio and project space
Not everything is a show. Short-term studio space, room to build or finish work, or a month to make something too large for where you normally work. Those briefs care about floor loading, access, ventilation, water and whether mess is acceptable, and they are worth stating plainly so we shortlist on the right things.
What we confirm before you commit
Hanging
Track system or fixings, what the walls take, and the uninterrupted run once doors and services are removed.
Light
Orientation, what time it goes, and what the artificial lighting actually is.
Opening night
Standing capacity, whether drinks are possible, and the finish time.
Insurance
What the venue asks you to hold for the work before you install.

Common questions
Can I put fixings in the walls?
It varies by space and it is one of the first things we confirm. Tell us how the work hangs and we will filter on it.
Can I hire a space for a single weekend?
Often, yes. Short runs are normal and the minimum depends on the individual space.
Who insures the work?
Cover for the work itself is usually the exhibitor’s responsibility, and most venues will ask what you hold. Worth sorting before you install.
Is there a space with a hanging system?
Some have track systems and some do not. Tell us how you need to hang and we will shortlist accordingly rather than leave you to ask each one.
Can I use a space as a studio rather than a gallery?
Yes. Studio and project briefs care about different things, so tell us if that is what you need and we will look at floor loading, access, water and whether mess is acceptable.
What does it cost to use the concierge?
Nothing. The sourcing service is free and we are paid by the space.
