About Us

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.

 

Our Team

 

  • Saxon – Founder and driving force behind The Art Syndicate, Saxon’s career has been a journey through automotive engineering, mechanical design, nursing, and, ultimately, the arts. After several years running The Art Syndicate as a gallery curating exhibitions for
    international artists including Jon Setter, Gregory Uzelac, Kyle Hoffman, Brian Vu and Badiucao
    , Saxon saw an opportunity to expand, creating a unique space where art, conversation, and carefully curated drinks come together.

  •  

  • Lisa Beverage Curator, is a CMS Certified Sommelier (Sydney Dux 2022) and WSET Level 4 Diploma graduate (John Avery Vintners’ Bursary recipient 2024). She brings eight years of experience at fine dining establishments including Mimi’s (Merivale), Charles Grand Brasserie & Bar (Etymon Projects) and the former Rockpool Dining Group.

And for our lucky guests, there’s always a chance you’ll meet Domino, our gentle greyhound and beloved part of the team.
