ReadingRoom was founded in 2018, an independent contemporary art gallery, representing local and international artists and presenting a programme of exhibitions. The gallery was originally located in The Nicholas Building, and in 2021 relocated to a storefront exhibition space on High St., Northcote, Naarm / Melbourne.

The gallery programme is largely produced on Kulin nation land, and ReadingRoom acknowledges that we are living, working and learning on unceded sovereign land of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation. We pay respect to elders past, present, and future and recognise the rich history of creative practices of Indigenous peoples across the country. 

The gallery makes monthly contributions to Pay The Rent and is a member of the Gallery Climate Coalition.
