ArtSpace Wonthaggi

A high calibre contemporary art gallery in the Bass Coast area has been a long-time vision for many local artists and community members. In 2012 it became a reality with thanks to the far sightedness and can-do attitude of a small team, and the strong support of sponsors and volunteers.

Located in the centre of town ArtSpace Wonthaggi offers quality artworks by Gippsland artists. Also located at the ArtSpace, the giftshop is stocked with beautiful works by Gippsland craftspeople.

The ArtSpace is a not-for-profit incorporated organisation managed and staffed voluntarily by a team of artists, craftspeople and community supporters to offer opportunities to link local artists with collectors, and to provide a vehicle for the ongoing pursuit of art excellence in the region.

Artwork is hung on a 4-week rotation program, artists apply for either a major or minor exhibition via a number of lineal metres. Gift shop wares are negotiated directly with the curatorial team. Both artworks and gift shop items are displayed for the best overall advantage of the gallery, and are regularly re-arranged to generate interest etc.
