10 reviewsAbout
The Orbost Arts Centre delivers an ongoing arts program that nurtures regional creativity and presents wood design, visual arts and performing arts to Orbost, surrounding communities and visitors to the Far East Gippsland area.
Their permanent collection is made up of pieces acquired from the Australian Wood Design Exhibition shows over the past 20 years. The permanent wood design collection is always on display. Since 2020 the Australian Wood Design Exhibition runs bi-annually.
They are located on the banks of the famous Snowy River, adjacent the Orbost Visitor Centre (the historic Slab Hut), and Orbost's popular Forest Park. The Orbost Arts Centre is a regional centre for both visual and performing arts, an events venue and their shop supports the creative practice and retail outlet for over 30 regional artists and craftspeople. They are a volunteer-run, not-for-profit organisation. The Orbost Arts Centre receives no ongoing funding for any of their activities. Their capacity to open the doors, hold exhibitions, create arts programs, attract arts and culture opportunities to the area, and support the local creative community is made possible by their committed volunteers.

Beautiful and incredibly well curated. A stunning mix of affordable pieces and more pricy statement art. The selection of local artists who have their work displayed are very talented. There is some stunning copper twine crystal hangings that really caught my eye. Beautiful jewellery, paintings and woodworks. Highly recommend stopping by!

We are three older couples travelling together through NSW and Vic. We love an opportunity to wander around local communities and see anything of interest. This centre is really special. The woodwork takes your breath away. I am also an Alice in Wonderland tragic so how surprised was I to come across an Alice in Wonderland exhibit in this quaint little town. My hat off to the volunteers who keep it all happening and somewhere in the council I think there are some people committed to keeping their community vibrant and relevant. Well done.

The Exhibition Centre is absolutely beautiful - the wodwork design exhibition is especially worth a look. The gift shop has stunning wood pieces made by local artists and they are very reasonably priced. Great place to find a Christmas or birthday present.

This is truly a must see, some of the best wood craft that Ive ever seen. This show is on every year in January, hope to see more.

Becoming a Patron member has been such a great decision! It’s great value—we’ve attended more opening nights than ever and even had the chance to enjoy the amazing Gala night. Highly recommended!
