Lamington Drive

Owned and operated by the friendly faces of illustration agency The Jacky Winter Group, Lamington Drive was established in August 2008 as a gallery space dedicated to showing the work of those represented by the agency. The gallery exists to simultaneously explore the awkward idea of having commercial art in a gallery space, and as a venue in which illustrators, cartoonists and designers can explore this same art/commercial art tension in their practices.

The space itself, designed by architect Martyn Hook of Something Together, in collaboration with Stuart Geddes and Jeremy Wortsman, was deliberately set up to reflect the tactile and craft-like nature of Applied Art, with all four walls of the gallery lined in twin-ply cardboard provided by our friends at VISY which are replaced and recycled each month.

Lamington Drive is located at The Compound Interest Centre for Applied Arts, at 89 George Street in Fitzroy, right in the heart of the Gertrude Street Gallery district. The gallery is easily accessible by the 86 Tram, and parking is usually available within a one-block radius.

The Gallery is open for viewing Wednesday through Friday, from 11am until 6pm, and Saturdays from Midday until 5pm. All other times are by appointment. Opening nights are usually Thursdays from 6-9pm and always include Lamingtons, free drinks, and good conversation in our courtyard. Please be sure to check the opening days of the current show to avoid disappointment, or call us anytime at 03.8060.9745
