Smith + Gertrude is an art gallery in Smith Street, Fitzroy. In a heritage building, it resists the white-walled cubes that characterize contemporary galleries. Instead, it is defined by the quirks of the building where the artists and curators embrace the restrictions of the building, taking on a site-specific mindset, working ‘with’ the brick and bluestone walls rather than overcoming them.

Downstairs is a street-facing gallery space, while upstairs is a multi-use space that alternates between gallery, artist studio, photographic studio, and community space.
