OPENING EVENT: Friday 24 April
Artists: Georgia Graffin
The Long Road Home is Georgia's first solo exhibition. After two years travelling Australia, Georgia has recently settled in Apollo Bay, drawn by the familiar meeting of coastline, forest and mountains reminiscent of her upbringing in the Tweed Valley.
This series of paintings reflects a quiet sense of return, capturing the plants and landscapes that shaped her connection to place and her journey toward a new home.

THROUGH MY EYES
Date: November, 2026
Hours: 10am - 4pm
OPENING EVENT: TBC
Artists: Loreen Missen
Big skies, epic clouds, lapping waves, beach reflections, and gigantic trees—these are the elements that ground us, nurture us, relax us, and bring us back to centre. They are also the forces that urge Loreen to put paint on canvas.
Her work not only records the existence of these landscapes but also channels her emotional response to the vistas she encounters living and walking in the Otways. Loreen captures the shifting light, the movement of the clouds, and the awe of nature.
