Website
Ellis House is a beautiful historic home originally built in 1912 by George and Elma Ellis. It was one of the first dairy farms in the district and after many years it was saved from dereliction, and refurbished with a joint grant with the City of Bayswater and the Federal Government restoration project. An expression of interest was advertised By City of Bayswater and Mrs Derna Johnson applied and was accepted and a community art centre was formed. In March 2004 "Friends of Ellis House" was formed and 8 years on and many members later Ellis House became Ellis House Community Art Centre Incorporated.
It is now a beautiful relaxing environment and is truly appreciated by the public. One has only to read the wonderful compliments written by the public in its visitor books which are all kept here at Ellis House. All rooms are used to exhibit art work and is an ideal place for artists of all levels to paint, enjoy lessons and to learn from one another. It has exhibitions all year and the gallery space is open for both members and the general public. Bookings are taken from September each year and fill up by December.
