LEMON HILL GALLERY WELCOMES YOU
Celebrating creativity, resourcefulness and the human spirit
ABOUT THE GALLERY
Lemon Hill Gallery is a small gallery in a shipping container on a farm in East Gippsland. It is approached off the bitumen, on a gravel road!
Our address: 158 Lemon Hill Rd, Wairewa. Victoria.
There is no charge for visiting, or for exhibiting in the gallery and there is no commission on a sale. Sales take place between the artist and the buyer.
The container was donated after the 2019/20 bush fires and the gallery is
situated on the site of the burnt shed with a 360 degree view of the Wairewa valley and the state forest.
Exhibitions change every 4 weeks and the Gallery is closed in January, February and August.
The first exhibition "Christmas in a Container" by Merilyn Flynn was featured on ABC TV at Christmas time 2020.
Darren Chester, Federal Member for Gippsland, visited in November 2021

OPENING HOURS
Come Visit
The gallery is open on Sunday afternoon from 2pm to 5pm when a cup of tea or coffee and lemon slice (usually!) will be available.
It can be viewed at other times by arrangement. Night viewing has a certain charm. The night is black and the lights are dramatic on a farm far from street lights.

"Home Is Where the Heart Is"
an exhibition of water colours
By
Kate Chapman
​
​
​ Kate Chapman, with a background in Ec0-Pyschology and Community Building, turned her hand to painting, and particularly to water colours, during the covid lockdown. She comments that the new venture "grew into a love of colour, light, water, and the creative process" and her life "seemed to gain a focus, a passion and plain joy." That is a broad and sweeping statement to make before your first solo exhibition, but I think viewers will find it is justified! Kate's paintings are lovely.
I invite you to come and judge for yourself.
​
Poetry will also be featured in this exhibition. Kate accompanies some of her paintings with her own poems, and Liz Dorset, aka "The Pop Up Poet", will recite poetry at the 2pm opening on Sunday May 4th. Liz was The Winner in recitation at the "Man From Snowy Festival" in Corryong two years ago.
