The Young Street gallery opened last month and for her latest exhibition owner Justine Milburn drew on her background in film directing, multimedia, music and fine arts to dream up a sci-fi bar of robots, topped off with smoke machine and lighting effects.

Ms Milburn said she wanted the exhibition to show it was possible to create an enthralling set with a small budget.

She opened the gallery to offer new artists a space to show off their talent and only charges them $20 to hang a painting.

"There is some really good stuff coming out of Frankston and I hope the community exhibitions will kick-start them into gear and give them a taste for it."
