Art galleries – Mornington Peninsula
The work of the vibrant, thriving artistic local community can be seen throughout the region. The well known Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery hangs work by locals artisans beside the works of Australia's finest artists, and private galleries showcase local talent. And working studios are open to the arts enthusiast to observe the people whose life and work are inspired by this special part of the world.
There are also two excellent sculpture exhibitions during the year when you can experience the region’s finest sculpting talent. One is held at the picturesque Montalto Vineyard and Olive Grove in April and the other is held at the renowned McClelland Gallery+ Sculpture Park in November.
