‘CLOSING’ by Caelene nee Glen
Works by Caelene nee Glen and gallery stockroom
A final exhibition at the Martin Street Village gallery features works by gallerist and artist, Caelene nee Glen. Artworks will be displayed on walls for Thursday 14 May 2026 and then rotate in the windows as we de-fit the gallery space. This has been a wonderful venture and we will miss the community here, as much as you miss the art in our windows.
Caelene will continue to work as a broker and advisor from her home office, while focusing on a new body of work for exhibit in 2027 - sign up to mailing list for details. As this space closes, we now search for another location to open in a few years time - CnG Art Gallery will pop up every few years with your favourite artists and more!
Please continue to view the online gallery here on the website, follow instagram for new work by our artists, and sign up to the mailing list for ongoing creative news.

Sit back and enjoy…
I visit the Sydney Contemporary Art Fair each year. If you don’t have time to visit then no worries, I will be there to share my experiences with your first hand.
I’ll do the legwork and you sit back with a cup of tea. I catch the flights, the trains, on-the-go meals, spend four days walking the floors of Carriageworks, and you get to live elusively through me. Then, within one week of the closing of the 2026 Sydney Contemporary Art Fair, you will receive a beautifully designed recount of my first hand experience at the Sydney Contemporary Art Fair 2026.
Tell me more…
Together, we discover luscious new works of art and I’ll share photos of all my favourite pieces, and artworks that strangely intrigue the mind. We can find the current trends, and the new approaches that artists are taking upon traditional art forms - my photos and writings will entice both admiration and inspiration. And for those budding collectors, let’s earmark new artists to anticipate and follow their career development.
What you get:
A beautifully designed digital and/or printed booklet
Contents include:
My personal overview of the Sydney Contemporary Art Fair 2026, at Carriageworks.
This is a written experience of visual trends, what I learned in my conversations with artists, gallerists and fellow attendees.
I will make sure you get a run down of what was ‘interesting’ at the art fair this year.
Of course, there will be plenty of visual content from my photos.
And links via QR codes to further information I gained at the stands.
Limited to 160 copies: beautifully produced in a bound book with linen cover.

The Martin Street Village gallery will close on 17th May 2026.
I will open a new space in a few years. I am looking forward to a few years working remotely while caring for my young children. When the stars align again with the perfect space and time, then I will open another gallery space - likely in a few years.
