What Is MAY'S
MAY’S Lane – Australia’s premier outdoor curated street art gallery space
Each month, MAY’S Lane exhibits five large panels by street artists from across Australia and overseas. Once removed to make way for the next panel, each work is included in the MAY’S Collection which is an attempt to produce one of Australia’s best and most dynamic collections of street art. The laneway is a public space so is always open and free for anyone to visit.
Besides the panels, May’s is home to sprawling, exuberant and constantly evolving works on walls – work that has the full and unwavering support of neighbouring residence and business. These works change rapidly and regularly, so there is always new work and new artists to see.
May’s Lane assists emerging artists by commissioning panels, exhibiting them and documenting their work in our permanent collection. May’s also acts as a commissioning body for persons or businesses wishing to employ street artists for murals or other works, such as the new Petersham RSL @ Newtown.
MAY’S has recently released a new numbered edition of: The May’s Retrospective (2005-6), a lovingly produced anthology of the first cycle of artists appearing in the laneway.
May’s is a non-profit association that runs off donations from business and members of the public. May’s acknowledges the traditional owners of St Peters, the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation.
