The Archer Gallery, named after the famous winner of the first two Melbourne Cup races, who was trained at Jembaicumbene and who is buried here, is planned to open in early 2010.
We have some artworks available now, please click here to view our current stock.
The gallery will showcase local artists alongside selected works from elsewhere in NSW and interstate. As restoration of the upper floors of the mill building is completed, three self contained artist's residences with studios will open allowing artists to participate in three month in-house workshops culminating with an exhibition of their work.
The gallery will incorporate 250 square metres of showroom space with advanced lighting and gallery hanging systems. The north side opens onto a grassy terrace overlooking the mill pond and the Jembaicumbene valley and wetlands. As part of the mill pond restoration a 16' undershot water wheel powering pumps is under construction for installation into the pond's water race, very similar to a water wheel that was operated here in the 1850s to power mining equipment.
Space is booking quickly so please contact us should you be interested in showing when the gallery opens shortly.
