GALLERY HIRE

Hammond Gallery

For 150 years the Victorian Artists Society has been an artistic landmark in Victoria.  

It is within these walls that young artists including Arthur Streeton, Charles Conder, William Frater, Frederick McCubbin and many others, commenced their journey of brushstrokes, which today form the foundation of Australia’s major art collections in national galleries across Australia.    

The Victorian Artists Society's recent full restoration of its National Trust and Heritage listed building has ensured that this historic birthplace of Australian art continues to play an important part in the lives of the art loving community, from the time it opened its doors in 1892 and well into the future. 

The Victorian Artists Society building houses three beautiful galleries on the upper level, the Frater, McCubbin and Hammond and two downstairs galleries filled with natural light, the Cato, suitable for smaller exhibitions and functions and the Mackley Members' Room. 

The Frater, McCubbin and Hammond galleries offer a stunning back drop for exhibitions featuring all genres of art.  Each gallery has 4-metre-high soaring ceilings, heritage architectural details, state of the art gallery lighting and lift access.

  • 100 seats available for use when hiring the Frater and Hammond galleries. 
  • A lectern and microphone are available to any hirer. 
  • 10 plinths available for sculpture display. 
  • Full kitchen facilities on the ground floor available to hirers. 

Exhibitions can be booked from one to two weeks, while functions and events can be held during the day or evenings subject to availability.
