So impressed with Outré & their lovely friendly staff. I ordered a fantastic print from their online store for my son just before Christmas and it arrived 2 days later & it was so unbelievably well packaged there was no chance of it ever being damaged in transit! lol I was so impressed that I decided to order another print (just a few days before Christmas) as a surprise for my daughter and that one arrived in 2 days as well! Both are such beautiful prints. I’m considering buying some for myself now. :)

  • Shannon

Great customer service and very friendly staff that are consistent with their communication. They also went the extra mile to source a piece for me from overseas, whilst also automatically following through with emails about updates. When I received my delivery it was wrapped up so well in a lot of bubble wrap. Just wanted to acknowledge the extra efforts they put into the care and delivery of the artwork. Very much appreciate the work they do and the beautiful artwork they offer. Thanks Outre Gallery!

  • Melanie Jane

Superb art gallery with highly knowledgeable staff and excellent online store. I have now purchased 8 pieces of art from Outre Gallery and plan to buy more in the future. From quirky to bold and captivating there is a piece of art for a wide range of tastes. The online store is easy to navigate and offers cheap and fast shipping. The staff have never hesitated to help me when I wanted a print custom framed which allowed me to get the perfect end result. Can’t recommend this gallery enough! A++

  • Stephanie Ehrlich

I’ve bought a number of prints from the gallery over the years with no issues. However I was left incredibly disappointed when I tried to purchase an original from a recent exhibition. I say tried because of the gallery’s elitist “preference process” for purchases. In reality, if you aren’t a friend or known to the gallery and on their “list” you won’t be purchasing.. at least not until all of those on the aforementioned list have been offered their selections.

  • Louise Rutten

Outre is always guaranteed to have a variety of artists being featured. It's a great little gallery with reasonably priced prints & limited editions. They also have an intriguing selection of books which make wonderful gifts & don't carry a crazy price. I also like they have a variety of ceramics; both practical & simply aesthetically appealing. I would suggest signing up to the newsletter - it's always full of new artist info & previews at the gallery. Enjoy!

  • Michael Whitmore

WOW I’d been devastated some years back when these guys left Sydney (whilst I was living up there), because of the specially curated range & truly wondrous collection of artworks & pieces by uniquely chosen, very talented artists ☺️ I was THRILLED to rediscover Outré at the weekend, but especially for finding & getting to buy a rare book to complete the Russian Criminal Tattoos set which I now have

  • Sean Nairn

Offering an eclectic selection of prints, Outré Gallery is conveniently located in the heart of Melbourne’s CBD. Many of its offerings are based on pop art elements however there are some more classic themes present as well. Prices are reasonable for framed prints; if this is your style you’re bound to find something to take home.

I have been waiting years to purchase my first real piece of artwork.. The staff as SOOOO HELPFUL! They spent time with me tying to figure out which frame would be best for my complicated wall framing at home.. And even gave me the option to change it if it didnt suit... You just absolutely made my first experience so amazing. I cant wait to come back and buy more xx Keep up the amazing work guys xxx

  • Timothy Rowe

Visited the gallery on Monday 5 March to purchase a gift for my fiancé. Picked up a brilliant piece from Andrew Bannecker - Modern West. Great quality print and frame. Staff were very friendly, helpful and enthusiastic; even though it was just 15 minutes from closing when I arrived. Such fantastic works of art and books available and I'll definitely be back to get more. Already have a huge wish list!

  • Michael Cherry

I received a wonderful star wars print on Christmas morning and was so impressed by it I ordered the other accompanying 2 on boxing day. I received them both today, wrapped so well that I thought I was playing a one man pass the parcel.. later that day I had them up on the wall blasting me out of my "20somethings blu-tack posters" and into "sophisticated wall art". Worth every penny.

  • Deepak David

Awesome gallery and a treat for Ghibli fans. It’s great I don’t live in Melbourne or else I would be spending a ton of money at this gallery. Lots of clever and affordable pieces, I imagine there is something for everyone here. The staff are lovely too and are very helpful. Highly recommend Outre next time you are looking at adding some flair to your walls at home.

  • Brian Daly

Melbourne's go to for all your contemporary art needs. Limited prints, original art, sculptures and an extensive library of curated art related books and magazines Staff are helpful, informed and not pushy at all. Artist exhibitions are a highlight and run throughout the year showcasing local and international artists. A Melbourne art staple.

  • Ally Deveau

I love Outre Gallery. You can tell they love their artists and their customers. I have purchased many items over the years and they have always been warm and kind. Last year I was going through some stuff and found a lot of comfort in their artworks and I am very appreciate of their great communication and careful packing of all items.

  • cait

Unusual and quirky styles of art showcased, well worth a quick stop if nearby! All pieces appeared to be on sale, some of which were quite inexpensive. I bought a small felted piece as a gift, chatted briefly with a lovely staff member about it. Was a cheerful and worthwhile visit!

Excellent, unpretentious little gallery. Loved all the art available. They do a great job curating the space. Immediately bought two pieces I absolutely adore. Vien-Mee (sp?) was very helpful with figuring out how I would transport them back to the states. Will be recommending and definitely coming back!

  • Shreya Sharma

I've crossed this store so many times and finally went in this week and absolutely no regrets! They have such an amazing collection and all at such a reasonable price. Most of the pieces come framed, and you can even get custom frames made. Will definitely be picking up a few more pieces from here soon.

  • Isabella Chiodo

Amazing staff! Thank you Vee for all your help today, truly appreciated. Your customer service, as well as assistance, was wonderful. Vee even helped carry my new prints to my car, in the rain! Will definitely be back. Always outstanding artwork, second to none. Many thanks again, Isabella

  • Harry Minassian

Amazing artwork by amazing artists. If you’re looking for unique pieces aligned more with pop culture, this place is a must visit. The team there are very helpful and are lovely to chat with.

  • Doni Lofitis

One of my favourite places. Every time I'm in Melbourne I come here and end up buying something, the artists are insane and the price for each piece is also amazing because it comes with a frame that also looks really cool. Definitely check it out even if it's just to have a look!

  • Nej Hrib

I used to like this gallery 15-20 years ago. Now I think it's the same old stuff, but with an emphasis on cashing in on Star Wars, Ghibli, and other major franchises. Nothing very clever or original about that. Apparently now even art is all about the reboots and fan service.

  • Evan King

Absolutely love this gallery. I've bought a few pieces from them for my place. Selection of works and exhibitions are great. The staff are always very helpful and knowledgeable. Even when not buying I like to browse here.

Best art gallery store in Melbourne. There are regular works from many artists both local and international including some of my favourites; kozyndan, James Jean and Mark Ryden. And friendly staff to top it off.
