Gippsland Art Gallery, Art museum in Sale, Victoria, Australia.
Gippsland Art Gallery occupies 70 Foster Street at the Port of Sale, in a building redeveloped between 2015 and 2017 by FJMT Architects and reopened on 6 January 2018. It has six exhibition spaces over 800 m2, including a room for Sale textile artist Annemieke Mein whose displays rotate twice a year. The permanent collection numbers over 3,000 items: paintings, works on paper, ceramics, sculpture, textiles, woodwork and metalwork.
The gallery was founded in 1965, initially located above Sale Library with backing from state government and local council. It has since grown into an important cultural venue for the region.
The John Leslie Art Prize draws artists from across Australia to compete in landscape painting, shaping how the gallery connects with the broader art community.
The gallery occupies the Port of Sale building at 70 Foster Street, with six exhibition spaces over 800 m2 reached from the town centre on foot. The Annemieke Mein space rotates its displays twice a year, so repeat visitors see different textiles. Sale is about 220 km east of Melbourne, near the Princes Highway.
The gallery holds more than 3,000 items, and one room is given over to Sale textile artist Annemieke Mein, with displays changed twice a year. The ExxonMobil Australia Collection of Australian Art, spanning the twentieth century, was donated in 2018.
