STUR gallery

We are a gallery and store located in the heritage listed town of Braidwood, NSW. Braidwood is a hub of creativity and has produced many artists and musicians who have professional careers in their field. STUR is focused on showing contemporary art and finds it especially interesting to be doing this in a regional location. Our store showcases many locally designed products, made by the talented folks who live in the area, some of whom have relocated here after careers in the city. We also stock design stationery from around the world and other fabulous objects of desire.

Two Galleries – One Location

When gallery owner and Director, Cheryl Hannah established fYREGallery fine art prints in Braidwood in 2005, she was determined to create an impressive commercial gallery space at 84 Wallace St that would draw visitors and collectors locally and internationally. In 2011 Kelly Sturgiss opened her gallery at 85 Wallace St in Braidwood to showcase her talent for spotting the unusual in contemporary art and design. A very interesting art vibe quickly emerged.

Cheryl and Kelly knew that they shared a passion for showing and selling beautiful art but then, in 2012, in a moment of serendipity, an opportunity arose for Cheryl and Kelly to join forces. Both wanted to keep their galleries distinct but both were looking for ways to improve their sustainability. Solution: share the space at 84 Wallace St; have two galleries in one location.

In an innovative “time-share” arrangement Kelly Sturgiss rents her gallery space from owner Cheryl Hannah during the months between fYREGallery shows. STUR GALLERY inside fYREGALLERY is a gallery, photostudio and art gift shop owned by Kelly Sturgiss. Kelly’s gallery focuses on the contemporary and her gift shop contains items created by local designers, books relating to the area or written by local authors, and other beautiful pieces sourced by Kelly.
