The gritty backstreets of Collingwood have long produced quality galleries, and they've now joined forces to consolidate itself as a precinct. It includes contemporary works at the spacious James Makin Gallery and the intimate Kick Gallery , wonderful and affordable Indigenous art at Mossenson , and a huge, varied collection at Australian Galleries . Most are closed Mondays and during January; visit the website for details.
On Johnston St (next door to the Tote) is a mural painted by the late Keith Haring , the famous New York street artist, who visited in 1984.
