Book Direct with the Owner at Herring Island Summer Arts Festival in South Yarra with C Tourism for all your restaurant and entertainment needs.
Herring Island Summer Arts Festival began in 2006 as a collaboration between the exhibiting arts groups, Parks Victoria and the Friends of Herring Island.
This followed the work of Maudie Palmer who, as curator of the Herring Island Environmental Sculpture Park, established the permanent collection of art works on the island and ran art exhibitions in the renovated scout hall.
In 2020 the festival features exhibitions from the Association of Sculptors of Victoria, Valley Potters and A4Art Australia (an initiative of the Contemporary Art Society Vic Inc.).
On the Australia Day public holiday each year they run a program featuring artists from the exhibiting groups mostly with demonstrations in the courtyard plus self guided tours of the permanent collection and more activities as outlined on the website.
Due to current advice on public gatherings, the remainder of the final exhibition in the series will be hosted online. For further information see the festival website....
