The gallery showcases exhibitions of diverse media and styles —painting, sculpture, works on paper, graphics, and photography; from figurative, geometric, gestural, surrealist, and social comment to installation and conceptually based work.

 

3. The Herring Island Environmental Sculpture Park

 

The 3.2 hectare Sculpture Park in Herring Island is only accessible by boat. It is the only substantial island in Yarra River! And guess what, this parkland was the inspiration of curator Maudie Palmer to develop a concept in which artists are commissioned to create site-specific sculptures!

 

The sculptures in the island were created from materials such as stone, earth, and wood. And the sculptures appear as part of the landscape to reflect the Island’s beautiful setting! You’ll be shocked at how creative are the artists who made such striking creations!
