Tin Sheds Gallery (TSG) is a contemporary exhibition space located within the Sydney School of Architecture, Design and Planning at the University of Sydney. Tin Sheds officially opened in 1969 as an autonomous art space within the University grounds, facilitated by artists, academics and students. The Tin Sheds spurred a pivotal historical movement in Australian art, nurturing cross-disciplinary experimentation and politically orientated practices for several decades. The Sydney School was a strong support base for Tin Sheds, and in 1989 it officially joined the School delivering art workshop classes. In 2004, the Tin Sheds moved its entire operation into the School with purpose-built workshops and a gallery.
