About Us

Welcome to The Art Syndicate

At The Art Syndicate, we’re more than just a gallery and bar—we’re a space for conversation, creativity, and community. As the city’s only NSW exclusive venue offering a selection of 22 wines by the glass, alongside a curated range of unique wines, beers, and spirits, we’re proud to offer unmatched pricing and extended hours. Our space is designed for those with unique tastes and a desire for connection, blending art, discussion, and exceptional hospitality.


Our journey began as a dedicated art gallery, showcasing compelling works and hosting vibrant openings. As our Friday night salons grew in popularity, so did our vision for creating a broader, more social experience. Inspired by the salons of old, we created a space for thought-provoking conversations where friends, artists, and curious minds gather to exchange ideas in a warm, high-touch atmosphere.


Our Team


  • Saxon – Founder and driving force behind The Art Syndicate, Saxon’s career has been a journey through automotive engineering, mechanical design, nursing, and, ultimately, the arts. After several years running The Art Syndicate as a gallery curating exhibitions for
    international artists including Jon Setter, Gregory Uzelac, Kyle Hoffman, Brian Vu and Badiucao
    , Saxon saw an opportunity to expand, creating a unique space where art, conversation, and carefully curated drinks come together.


  • Lisa is a Certified Sommelier (Sydney Dux 2022) and current WSET Diploma student (John Avery Vintners’ Bursary recipient 2024). She brings eight years of experience at fine dining establishments including Mimi’s (Merivale), Charles Grand Brasserie & Bar (Etymon Projects) and the Rockpool Dining Group.

And for our lucky guests, there’s always a chance you’ll meet Domino, our gentle greyhound and beloved part of the team.


Our Approach

Our mission is to offer a professional yet welcoming experience, adapting our service to each guest while maintaining a high-touch approach. Whether you’re here for a single glass of wine, an inspiring Friday night salon, or a private event, we aim to make each visit unforgettable.


Come for the art, stay for the conversation, and let us pour you a glass. We look forward to welcoming you to The Art Syndicate.
