Montsalvat |
Montsalvat, where the life of art is lived and a fabled past meets a vibrant present.
Montsalvat is Australia's oldest continuously active artists' community; a place where art in all its forms is made and taught, and art's transformative power is celebrated in exhibitions, festivals, concerts, workshops and artists' residencies.
Montsalvat is also a place of welcome to all - old and young, committed and curious. Everyone is invited to find peace and pleasure in Montsalvat's lovingly tended gardens, enjoy Montsalvat's exhibitions, its restaurant and hospitality, and marvel at its complex of buildings that evoke a European past while exemplifying a very Australian trait of recycling and architectural inventiveness.
Montsalvat's artist-founder, Justus Jorgensen, took his inspiration from the villages of France, but the Montsalvat he built with artist friends and families, notably the prodigiously talented Skipper family, is fashioned out of the clay and stone of this beautiful Eltham hillside, and pieced together with many remnants of Australia's architectural heritage.
