East Gippsland Art Gallery is a small but dynamic art gallery located in Bairnsdale offering art and cultural experiences for the whole family.
East Gippsland Art Gallery was established in 1992 by the then City of Bairnsdale after being approached by local residents concerned that there was no public gallery in East Gippsland. Initially, East Gippsland Art Gallery was provided with one room at its current address, which it soon outgrew. Fortunately, it was eventually able to utilise all of the building as exhibition space. Renovations carried out in 2003 greatly improved exhibition facilities, opened up the foyer and created a display area for a gallery shop that stocks a range of local fine art and craft items.
East Gippsland Art Gallery’s exhibition calendar is quite remarkable for a small gallery with only 3 part time staff and is recognised for its dynamic interaction and engagement with its community.
