Stephen McLaughlan (Gallery)

Committee Member

Stephen has run an eponymous Gallery in the Nicholas Building since 1994 - he typically showcases 12, or so, artists each year with engaging solo exhibitions. His background is in design (RMIT Architecture / Interior Design) and still does some consultancy in that area. He worked for the Australian Government architecture division for 2 decades, often working ”one on one” with Prime Ministers, High Court judges, Governors General and Ambassadors (sober & lightly inebriated). His first regular job was annual Christmas sojourns in the toy department of ”Foys” in Chapel Street Prahran. Over a lifetime he has lightly engaged with a quirky array of notables - Sidney Nolan, Sting, Michael Hutchence & Marieke Hardy to mention just a few. Bit by bit, putting it together, indeed.
