Welcome to The Art Syndicate
We are more than just a gallery and bar—we’re a space for conversation, creativity, and community. As the city’s only NSW exclusive venue offering a selection of 23 wines by the glass, alongside a curated range of unique beers, and spirits, we’re proud to offer unmatched pricing and extended hours. Our space is designed for those with unique tastes and a desire for connection, blending art, discussion, and exceptional hospitality.
Our journey began as a dedicated art gallery, showcasing compelling works and hosting vibrant openings. As our Friday night salons grew in popularity, so did our vision for creating a broader, more social experience. Inspired by the salons of old, we created a space for thought-provoking conversations where friends, artists, and curious minds gather to exchange ideas in a warm, high-touch atmosphere.
