Established in 1965, the Gippsland Art Gallery is the region's premier arts destination.
The Gippsland Art Gallery's permanent collection of artworks is one of the great cultural assets of the region. The gallery's collection currently numbers around 5,000 objects, including but not limited to painting, sculpture, works on paper, photographs, textiles, metalwork, woodwork, and indigenous and tribal art. Since its establishment in 1965, the focus of the collection has been Gippsland and the natural environment. Every year the gallery hosts exhibitions of local, national and international significance including occasional blockbuster exhibitions, in addition to regular displays of the permanent collection.
Features of the gallery include beautiful architect-designed exhibition spaces, Dock 70 Cafe, and a Gallery Shop. Artworks by the celebrated Sale-based textile artist Annemieke Mein OAM are often on display.
The Gippsland Art Gallery is situated at the Port of Sale, overlooking stunning waterways and parkland. Housed in the Wellington Centre together with the Sale Library and Visitor Information Centre, there is always plenty to see and do.
