Exclusive Figgis Gallery presents The Geelong Club Art.
About
This September, The Geelong Club will open its doors to a distinguished collection of historic Australian artworks, bringing together works that offer a fascinating glimpse into the people, places and stories that have shaped our region and our nation.Among the works on display are pieces by S. T. Gill, the celebrated lithographer and artist whose vivid observations of nineteenth-century Australia captured the character, energy and often-humorous realities of life during the Gold Rush. His work provides a particularly evocative window into a defining period of Australian history.
The exhibition is made possible through the generosity of Max Bell, a prominent member of The Geelong Club and a passionate supporter of the arts and local community. Mr Bell’s long-standing connections with both Geelong Gallery and Geelong College reflect a deep appreciation for preserving and sharing the cultural heritage of Geelong.
Presented within the historic surrounds of The Geelong Club, the exhibition offers an opportunity to enjoy these works in an intimate and convivial setting. More than a collection of historic pieces, it is a celebration of generosity, community and the enduring connection between art and place. A qualified Art Curator will take guests around each piece of Art and explain.
We warmly invite members and guests to join us to discover these remarkable works and to share in the stories they continue to tell.
