Karen Woodbury Gallery was a commercial art gallery in Victoria, Australia that operated from 2004 to 2016.

History

The gallery was opened in 2004 on the ground floor of 4 Albert Street in Richmond by its namesake director Karen Woodbury. By 2009 the gallery was representing a range of contemporary Australian and New Zealand artists, and to open a second exhibition space expanded to level one of the building.

By 2013 following rent hikes in her former location, the gallery was one of several in a growing arts hub on Flinders Lane in Melbourne.[1][2]

In 2015 the gallery participated in an art fair, "Spring 1883", at the Establishment Hotel.[3]

In 2016, Woodbury closed the gallery and began to operate as a fine arts consultant.[4]
