Gallery in
Mornington
Mornington has an exciting
new art gallery and owners
Isabel McGee and her partner
Paul Gosling hope that the
local Mornington community
is excited by a new range of
art, both traditional
and contemporary, painting
and sculpture.
As well, they encourage people
to approach them if they
are looking for something in
particular, and they will try and
source it for them through contacts
they have with other gallery owners.

to a preciousness which for a while
seemed lost. Pottery now seems to
have divested itself of the image that
it has to have a common usefulness
or functionality to exist, and can
again be in and of itself an object of
cherishable beauty as in past eras.
This gallery is truly an oasis of
craft virtuosos. Watch out for the

as the Peninsula?s only co-operative
community based art space remains
very much ?art for the community
by the community?, most suitable
for artists more concerned with
experimenting in making art than
photography to painting.
And September is the ?Off the wall?
exhibition highlighting the works
of well known artist/teacher Margo
Vigorito and her students of which
there are approximately 100.
October sees the return of the
popular annual open portrait show
?Little Archies? - always an interesting
and arresting expose of how people
see each other.
The official opening of each listed
exhibition is the first Sunday of each
month from 3 to 5pm where all are
invited to enjoy the art and share in
tasting the wine and nibbles.
