Admittance to the priority queue will end at 11am, after this point any newly arrived attendees will need to join the general access queue.

Please ensure books are purchased before joining the queue. If you already own books by our guest artist, you are welcome to bring them along, however please note there is a limit of 2 books per person for signing.
📕If I arrive late or if I'm still in line after the advertised time, will I still get my book signed?
We will do our best to accommodate all attendees. However, our guest artist may only be available for signing until the advertised time. To avoid disappointment we recommend getting to the gallery early, as our book signing events often draw large crowds.
📕Is the queue to get books signed indoors?
Unfortunately we're unable to accommodate queuing indoors; the queue begins outside the gallery. Please consider bringing sunscreen and a waterbottle and whatever else you may need to remain comfortable in Melbourne's unpredictable weather.
📕I only want to view the gallery's current exhibition. Do I need to queue?
No, the queue is only for the book signing; the gallery will be open for viewing from 11 am - 5pm.
📕Is the gallery wheelchair accessible?
The gallery is located in an Edwardian-era building, and as such there are two steps up to the gallery entrance. Upon request we are happy to set up a portable ramp to facilitate access to the gallery's ground floor, which houses our current exhibitions and hosts our book signing events. Unfortunately, the second floor of the gallery (our inventory showcase) is only accessible via a set of carpeted stairs.
