Glen Eira City Council Gallery

In the years since its opening in 1975, the Glen Eira City Council Gallery has established a prominent reputation within the Melbourne public gallery scene. Located on the ground floor of the historic Glen Eira Town Hall, access to the gallery is gained through the majestic classically-styled portico on the corner of Glen Eira and Hawthorn Roads, Caulfield.

Through the exhibition and regular rotation of Council’s permanent art collection in public areas of the Town Hall, and the production of survey shows of prominent contemporary Melbourne artists and craftspeople, the gallery plays an important part in contributing to a rich cultural life for the residents of Glen Eira and the wider community. In addition to the production of these exciting exhibitions, the gallery also coordinates two major art awards including the Silk Cut Award and the Alice Bale Art Award.

The gallery is also a popular hire space for local artists. In addition to assuring an exhibition program rich in diversity and scope, the use of the gallery as a hire space also provides a forum for local artists to show their work within a professionally equipped space at competitive rates. Floor to ceiling panels can be moved to divide the gallery into one-third, half or a flexible full gallery space.
