Kudos Gallery

About Kudos Gallery

Kudos Gallery enables a professional space for COFA artists and designers to explore and present their work beyond the realm of the studio. From the raw energy of a first year, to the well traversed conceptual level of a PhD student, Kudos presents a diverse program of solo, group and curated exhibitions that are open to the public.

Kudos is located in the heritage listed St Sophia Hall, at 6 Napier St. Paddington, just a 2 minute walk from the College of Fine Arts. The gallery was established in 1998 by the COFA Students’ Association to provide COFA students with an accessible gallery space off campus to develop an exhibition profile whilst still at University. Post-VSU, Kudos is still run by COFA students, now supported and funded by the Arc.

Exhibitions open on Tuesday nights 5-7.30pm, sometimes weekly, sometimes fortnightly. It is free to attend an opening and everyone is welcome.

The Kudos Gallery exhibition program is determined by the KGMC - a committee of COFA UG and PG student representatives - Bridie Moran, Julie Burke, Tully Arnot, Andrew Burford, Gemma Messih and Ben Holdstock, with the Kudos Gallery Intern - Lauren Carroll Harris and Gallery Coordinators - Alex Clapham and Zoe Robertson.

The gallery plays host to approximately thirty diverse exhibitions per year, encouraging all students from first year to PhD level to submit proposals for solo, group or curated exhibitions.

An open policy at Kudos Gallery allows an exciting assortment of cutting-edge experimental art exploring emerging concepts, technologies and cross-mediums, as well as a celebration of traditional art practices and themes.
