The Little Machine is a space for contemporary and experimental art, directed and curated by Michael Newall and Eleen Deprez. We support artists at different moments in their careers, fostering ambitious, concept-driven exhibitions that prioritise dialogue. Our program champions curatorial experimentation and South Australian artists while engaging in national and international exchanges.
Guided by an interest in philosophy of art, The Little Machine offers exhibitions and events that invite critical reflection and open conversation. Since opening in Regent Arcade in January 2023 with the support of Renew Adelaide, the gallery has grown into a vital platform in Adelaide’s arts ecology.
In May 2025, we relocated to larger premises in Regent Arcade, where we now operate on a commercial lease. Alongside a grant from the City of Adelaide and the personal investment of its directors, The Little Machine relies on the generosity of artists and friends who support its work in many ways. Sales are negotiated on a standard 40/60 commission split in favour of artists, with all income reinvested directly into The Little Machine’s program.

Please note: while we do not program exhibitions through proposals, we welcome the opportunity to see new work. Artists are invited to submit a digital portfolio.
