Work in progress shot of KALIMANRAWLINS new gallery
The new contemporary gallery KALIMANRAWLINS is set to unveil its South Yarra premises with an inaugural group exhibition opening early July 2011.

The venture unites the expertise and networks of two of Australia’s most respected gallerists from Sydney and Melbourne: Vasili Kaliman, the former Director of Sydney’s Kaliman Galleries and the former Directors of Melbourne’s Uplands Gallery, Jarrod and Tara Rawlins.

The gallery is located at 9 Ellis Street, South Yarra in Melbourne in a refitted former industrial garage that is being transformed by Room11 architectural practice.

The directors of KALIMANRAWLINS have represented some of Australia’s most sought after contemporary artists and are expected to bring a number of these names to join them in their new venture.
