Ok Violet, established in 2025 in Melbourne, Australia, is a light-filled space dedicated to the thoughtful presentation of collectible contemporary works by both local artists and makers.
Connected to an appreciation for the heritage 1930 building and plants, the multifunctional space is continually evolving. It is dedicated to building and contributing to the artistic and craft community in Melbourne.
We acknowledge the the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung people as the Traditional Owners of the land, on which Ok Violet operates.
