Maroondah Art Gallery

Set in a tranquil garden setting the Maroondah Art Gallery aims to promote and inspire innovation, diversity and discussion in the visual arts through a constantly changing exhibition program. Located in the leafy outer eastern region of Melbourne at Maroondah Federation Estate, the Gallery (which is owned and operated by Maroondah City Council) offers a dynamic range of exhibitions including newly commissioned work, thematic exhibitions and survey shows of major artists. A diverse range of public programs provide opportunities for visitors of all ages to further engage with the arts. The Maroondah Art Gallery is also home to the R & M McGivern Art Prize. Managed by Maroondah City Council and The Trust Company, this $25,000 acquisitive prize aims to encourage painting in all mediums. Held on a triennial basis, the Prize is open to artists nationally. The R & M McGivern Art Prize will be held again in 2012. For further information please visit the website.
