MARS Melbourne Art Rooms

MARS specialises in exhibiting, promoting and building the careers of contemporary Australian and International artists.

[MARS] was established by gallerist Andy Dinan in 2004, who converted a former dairy in Port Melbourne into a two-level contemporary gallery.

The three-level space incorporates amenities for showing new media such as sound sculpture, video and light art.
