Montsalvat in Eltham is Australia’s oldest continuously active artists’ community. Founded in 1934 by Justus Jorgensen, it spreads across five hectares (12 acres) of leafy gardens dotted with an eclectic collection of houses, studios, halls, galleries, and stables. The buildings themselves are works of art—constructed by resident artists using salvaged materials, many sourced from Victorian-era structures being demolished in Melbourne at the time.
Today, Montsalvat serves multiple purposes: it hosts exhibitions, performances, conferences, seminars, weddings, and receptions, while also remaining a living, breathing hub where artists in various disciplines still reside and create. Classes and workshops are offered year-round, keeping its creative spirit thriving.
Recognised for both its cultural and historical importance, Montsalvat is listed on the Victorian Heritage Register and continues to attract visitors from around the world who come to experience its unique blend of art, history, and community.
Cost:
Montsalvat Entry: $25
Organizer Fee: $15
Myki: $4 or Myki pass
