The Corner Store Gallery
BRICKS AND MORTAR GALLERY CLOSED FOR SUMMER BREAK - REOPENING JANUARY 29TH
Since its establishment in 2014, The Corner Store Gallery has been a beacon of creativity in Orange, Wiradjuri Country, one of NSW’s premier food and wine destinations. Independently run and passionately curated, our space is dedicated to nurturing both emerging and established artists and designers across a rich spectrum of creative mediums.
At The Corner Store Gallery, we believe in the power of art and creativity to enrich lives and build communities. Through a diverse array of exhibitions, workshops, pop-ups, and community events, we provide a dynamic platform for artists to showcase their work and connect with audiences from near and far.
Situated within the vibrant cultural community of Orange, our gallery is a vital hub for creativity and innovation. Join us as we continue to support and celebrate the diverse voices and talents that shape our creative landscape. Find out more about the gallery here.

Gallery Director and Curator Madi Young has curated a delightful, vibrant collection of works from our stockroom to showcase this December. Known for her keen eye and natural flair for colour, Madi brings together pieces with bold pattern, quirky subject matter, and rich textures. This collection reflects her love for playful combinations and talent for uncovering artworks that spark joy and intrigue.
Alice Jarrett, the Brand Manager of See Saw Wines in Orange, is our Guest Curator for this month. We recently had the pleasure of collaborating with Alice and the See Saw team to curate Leave a Trace, a dynamic group exhibition for their stunning cellar door this past October and November. To celebrate the conclusion of their sponsorship, Alice has handpicked a delightful and joyful collection for us, reflecting her vibrant spirit and deep appreciation of the arts. We are thrilled to share this special showcase with you.
Sydney-based painter Michelle Arnott has been captivating audiences with her charming miniature landscapes at the gallery for several years. Now, she's unveiling a new solo exhibition titled Vignettes: Ode to the Road Trip at The Corner Store Gallery, running from November 20th to 30th. This collection of small-scale paintings draws inspiration from Michelle’s journeys between Sydney, Orange, and beyond, with each piece capturing a distinct essence of these familiar yet often overlooked landscapes. It’s a heartfelt tribute to the simple beauty of fleeting moments glimpsed on the road.
