About us
MAGNET Galleries Melbourne is a not-for-profit social enterprise and registered charity that champions photography by offering exhibitions, educational events, and creative collaborations both locally and internationally.
Based in The District, Docklands, our vibrant venue not only features photography exhibitions and a creative library/bookshop but also provides fine art printing services through our dynamic partner, Photonet.
