WHY
107 Projects is the combined vision of seven of the driving forces behind Knot Gallery, The Frequency Lab and Token Imagination. From 2001–2005 these groups operated an artist run space at Studio 107, Hibernian House, Surry Hills. Renowned for its relaxed and welcoming environment, the space was home to a broad spectrum of music, performance, spoken word poetry and visual arts. Determined to do it louder and bolder, the search for a new home began in 2008.
In 2011, through the passion and determination of its founding members, along with the support from the many people and organisations who gave their time, energy and money 107 was reborn when the City of Sydney’s Accommodation Grant Program endowed the collective with a decommissioned car garage, serendipitously located at 107 Redfern St., Redfern
