La Vita Nova is a creative studio in the heart of South Yarra. A gallery, a content studio and an event venue, and the engine that gives others the space to bring their ideas to life.
Photo · the space
A gallery by day, a venue by night.
Five connected rooms in the heart of South Yarra. By day a gallery for emerging artists and a light-filled studio for shoots, by night a room for supper clubs, launches, workshops and talks.
Exhibitions, suppers, workshops and classes from our own calendar.
The studio by the hour for your dinner, launch, shoot or class.
A rotating wall for emerging artists and makers.

Runs the studio day to day, from bookings and events to the workshops around them. Her focus is a warm, well-run space.
Shapes the exhibitions and cultural programs, championing emerging and independent artists. She believes every artwork has its audience.
Guides how La Vita Nova grows, from partnerships to the long view. Her work turns a creative home into a lasting platform.
