The Backwoods sign, Collingwood

The gallery

Backwoods Gallery opened in the back streets of Collingwood in 2010 with the purpose of exhibiting contemporary art by emerging artists from Australia and around the world. Backwoods was founded by members of the Everfresh Studio and 25 Easey St community. The name 'Backwoods' was taken from an early Everfresh group show, rolling papers & our location – the depths of Collingwood.
