Skipton Art Gallery
This beautiful art gallery is located in the township of Skipton, a lovely welcoming historic village 50km west of Ballarat, Vic along the Glenelg Highway
Skipton Art Gallery is to be found at 36 Montgomery St Skipton in a recently renovated 150 year old bluestone building. It took 9 months to restore the old forgotten grocery store into a glorious 5 room gallery space with abundant natural light.
Artworks by numerous local and regional artists grace the walls giving the visitor a welcome introduction to the artistic talent of our region. There are artworks in all mediums and styles and with such a great number of talented artists there is always something new to see.
We are still accepting submissions from artists for exhibition space and also for the stockroom. All artists are invited to contact the gallery with examples of their work.
Please leave your email details on our Guest Page to receive Invitations and Updates. Further information may be obtained by emailing us at info@skiptongallery.com
