Converted from an old dough mixing room, our gallery provides space for the Canberra design & arts community.
The Mixing Room Gallery is a combined Gallery and display showroom for our furniture designs. The gallery aims to provide a space for the Canberra design & arts community, hosting exhibitions and events which share our sustainability, design and recycling focus, and that complement the recycled timber tables and furniture we have on display.
Located in the old TipTop dough mixing room above our showroom, we fixed the space when we moved in by patching and lightly polishing the concrete floors, stripping tiles and steel off the walls and exposing the trusses above. It has a spacious and industrial feel. Learn more about the Workshop, Showroom & Gallery renovation.
At the beginning of most exhibitions, we hold opening night events. These are a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the featured artists, come together as a community, and enjoy a beer or two in the name of great art.

THREE MILLS BAKERY
Three Mills Bakery has recently come on board as one of our community partners, supplying delicious nibbles for our opening events at a discounted rate. Three Mills is a fixture of Canberra culture, producing delicious sourdough bread and laminated pastries using house-milled flour, local ingredients and traditional long fermentation techniques.
They’re a community-minded, purposeful local business and we’re grateful for their support as we continue to bring together the Canberra arts community for events at The Mixing Room Gallery.
BRINDABELLA HILLS WINERY
Brindabella Hills Winery is our newest community partner, contributing ‘cool climate elegance in a glass’ to our opening events. Brindabella Hills vineyard and winery is situated 25km north of Canberra on a ridge above the Murrumbidgee. The protected site of the property, with its well drained granite soils, offers a perfect environment for the production of premium grapes for table wines.
Established in 1986 and having recently undergone extensive renovations, we love the ethos and passion shown by owner Michael Anderson and winemaker Brian Sinclair. With 21 vintages now behind them, they have established the potential for premium wine production in the Canberra region.
