About Romulus Folio

Empowering Artists. Transforming Spaces.

Romulus Folio is an artist-led gallery and creative hub based in South Melbourne. Inspired by the myth of Romulus, the founder of Rome, our name symbolises bold beginnings, resilience through transformation, and the creation of enduring legacies.

We believe in the power of art to break barriers, foster inclusive experiences, and transform the way people engage with the world.

Our Ethos: Bold. Brave. Believe.

• Bold: We celebrate artists who dare to disrupt, innovate, and redefine what’s possible. 

• Brave: Art is born from courage—the willingness to be vulnerable, explore the unknown, and confront truth with honesty and depth. 

• Believe: We trust in the transformative power of art and stand by the artists who embody that belief. 

A Platform and Gateway

Romulus Folio serves as both a platform and a gateway, a space where artists can showcase their work, connect with opportunities, and shape cultural conversations.

We provide a platform for artists to exhibit, collaborate, and grow, while also serving as a gateway to new opportunities, creative partnerships, and expanded audiences.

Collaboration, Creativity, and Community

We are committed to innovative ways of celebrating art as a powerful means of creating a dynamic and inclusive culture.

Our space champions truth-telling, creative risk-taking, and the belief that powerful, lasting change begins at the grassroots.

At Romulus Folio, every artist and artwork becomes part of a larger narrative of courage, rebirth, and collective growth.
