While the industrial steel and metal sculptures are the ones that instantly draw attention, there is more to see at The Creek Gallery and Garden than meets the eye.<\/p>\n

To complement their outdoor garden collection that many people spot while driving past the Freshwater Creek site on Anglesea Road, The Creek Gallery and Garden has recently opened a new indoor gallery that showcases unique local art across various mediums.<\/p>\n

Set in the original Freshwater Creek post office, a space that has been renovated and given a new lease on life, the new gallery features contemporary artwork and photography, pottery, woodwork, jewellery and soaps all from local creatives on the Surf Coast, Bellarine and Geelong region.<\/p>\n

The Creek Gallery manager Gayle Seach said the old post office space had been screaming to be set up into an art gallery due to its beautiful interior space.<\/p>\n

“The post office space was built in the 1860s and is quite significant and the perfect space for an art gallery.<\/p>\n

“We were quite delighted to have the opportunity to bring the space back to life and transform it into this quiet and beautiful and unique indoor creative hub.<\/p>\n

“The collection of artwork and photos that we have and aim to install in the gallery in the future will be specially curated and contemporary and modern in style.<\/p>\n

“It’s the type of work that would look great in holiday houses\u2026 its textured, colourful and sometimes abstract artwork with a bit of a coastal feel and vibe.<\/p>\n

“At the moment we are exhibiting a mix of prints and photos from the artistic collection of my husband and I, and we look forward to growing that over time.”<\/p>\n

Seach said the gallery had already received many compliments from the community in its short time being open.<\/p>\n

“We’ve had so people drop in with many compliments\u2026 people are just so rapt to have something of this nature in the area.<\/p>\n

“Because the post office building has been there for a very long time, people don’t really notice anything new, so we are really working on our signage to let people know about our new space.<\/p>\n

“We are super-proud of it and ultimately hope we can share it with people far and wide into the future.”<\/p>\n

The new art gallery includes paintings, photography, woodwork, jewellery, pottery and soaps made by local creatives.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Creek Garden and Art Gallery is at 665 Anglesea Road, Freshwater Creek.<\/p>\n

Opening hours are Monday to Sunday (excluding Tuesday) from 10am-4pm.<\/p>\n
