Are you looking for new audiences for your artwork? Set in the heart of the Yarra Valley, purpose built in timber and mud-brick by sculptor Ernst Fries, We are now offering Flexible Options for artists to exhibit in one or more of the three rooms. Each room has a mix of large and small wall spaces which are ideal for artists who want to exhibit only a few artworks or are experimenting with a new series and looking for feedback.

The gallery will still be available for solo or group shows and exhibitions will run for 6 weeks (or shorter by arrangement) with prices inclusive of curation, advertising, opening, manning.
