This newly revamped gallery is now among the best in the country. There is a constantly changing series of exhibitions, at least one of which is 'representational' or 'figurative' art. There is also a constantly changing exhibit of aspects of the permanent collection. Situated overlooking the Port of Sale there is also an excellent coffee shop serving cakes and sandwiches as well as a gallery shop. The gallery Director is one of Australia's foremost art writers so there is a comprehensive range of literature. 3D as well as 2D art is always on display and one gallery is totally devoted to the textile art of Annameike Mein.

Well I had been to most of the galleries in town before I stopped at Gibson's Larder for some lunch ( previously The Flying Cow) and as I was walking back to my car I noticed on a ( I assume water) tank I saw a sign saying that if I turn up the road next to the cafe there was another gallery. So I walked back to my car and drove to this gallery... it is about 290metres from their Main Street but the hill is a bit steep... walkable, but for fit people. :) When I arrived at the top of the hill, there was a sign indicating where to park... and on a hot summers day ... parking under a tree is lovely! There are more reasons to visit this gallery... it is inside of a historic homestead. I was met at the front door by a lady who was just the most amazingly warm person... you feel instantly at home and welcomed. This lady turned out to be the artist... :) It's a beautiful old home and part of the local historic walk... so there are a couple of reasons ( as I mentioned earlier, to visit) ... Bianca allows you to walk through at your own pace and ask any questions you like. Showing a bit of her own personality you will notice she has an extensive collection of Salt and Pepper pots, but if you ask nicely she may show you her growing teapot collection. What I can say is there is way more to this gallery than one would expect! The diversity of her paintings will take you from portraits to landscapes to classic flower paintings to gorgeous local paintings of boats... it's well worth wandering through this gallery. She also offers a wonderful range of greeting cards of her paintings. Another unique item are her paintings on gum leaves. They are quite stunning. Clearly Bianca is one of those beautiful people who just love the world around them. I chose a painting to take home with me and asked Bianca if she would allow me take her photo with it to remind me of my visit to the gallery, she was very happy to oblige and I have shared that photo here. Eftpos is available. AND before you leave, don't forget to sign the visitor's book. After saying our farewells I wandered out into the stunning garden to return to my car and was delighted to meet Bianca's husband who was working in the garden... imagine my surprise when he asked sincerely, "Would you like an apple?". I explained I had an apple tree at home and thanked him for his kind offer. In the carpark I walked to the edge of the entrance area and took a photo over the rolling Gippsland hills...thinking that this had been a gallery I may never forget.

Reviewed By ColinMacau_China
Not being a car person my self, it was suggested to me to take a visit and wow, totally unexpected, way above my expectations, I was certainly not disappointed. The collection is very well laid out and the individual exhibits are themselves very interesting, many with a local flavor. The team running the collection are I understand volunteers only too keen to talk about any exhibit. I was told by one of the staff that the exhibitions are changed on a regular basis. Plenty to interest all the family. A covered picnic area outside. for visitors use. The GVC is a real credit to the community and the people involved.
