ROMULUS

ROMULUS is a dynamic arts space for connection, creativity, and cultural impact. Whether you’re an artist looking for opportunities, a collective seeking collaboration, or an organisation exploring ways to integrate art into new spaces, we’re here to make it happen.

  • Bold. To create is to take risks. We love art, installations and artists who dare to disrupt, innovate, and redefine what’s possible.

  • Brave. Art is born from courage—the willingness to be vulnerable, to explore the unknown, and to confront truth with honesty and depth.

  • Believe. We trust in the power of art to change the way we experience the world, and we stand by the artists who embody that belief.

The Art Of Surface: Texture And Colour In Spatial Design Exhibition and events feature in this year’s Melbourne Design Week with Angelina Mirabito, May 15th-25th @Romulus folio gallery at The Gladstone.

Collaboration, Creativity and community

ROMULUS is artist-led, built on the belief that art shapes how we engage with private, commercial, and public spaces. We provide a platform for artists to showcase their work, collaborate, and grow—while also serving as a gateway to new opportunities, creative partnerships, and expanded audiences.

We are open to innovative ways of celebrating art as a powerful way of creating a dynamic and includsive culture.

we celebrate artists and art that push boundaries, challenge perspectives, and reveal new ways of seeing.

We are more than a gallery—we are a space for transformation, resilience, and fearless creativity.

Reflections After “Illuminating Perspectives”
Reflections After “Illuminating Perspectives”

A conversation with film maker Sam Galloway | 4th May 2025.

Illuminating Perspectives was our first public conversation, and in many ways, it gave voice to something we’ve both been feeling our way through in our work. Light became the throughline—not just as a technical element, but as a way of seeing, of witnessing, of breaking through what is otherwise unseen.
