On the walls of Cleburne is displayed the work of some outstanding Tasmanian painters, including John Lendis, Peter Stephenson, Wayne Brooks and Helen Hopcroft. There are also paintings by other artists, including Marina Pribaz, Heath Lander, Penelope Ann and Marisse Maas. All works are originals.

David and Penelope travel interstate regularly to art exhibitions and have visited galleries and museums in Europe, America and England. Penelope paints and has had a number of Group and Solo exhibitions in Melbourne. The Loft Gallery is on the first floor of the Stables and is the site for art exhibitions, launches, readings, etc. The Loft is also Penelope’s studio.

At Moorilla Vineyard, just three kilometers upstream from Cleburne, David Walsh is building his Museum of Old and New Art (MONA) a brand new, private art gallery on the river’s edge, which will house his collection of International and Australian modern art, recently enlarged by his purchase of John Brack’s ‘The Bar’, from under the noses of the Melbourne art establishment.

During winter we will offer Residential Painting Workshops using the Loft Studio space.

Our links page will take you to Art Galleries we recommend. We look forward to chatting with you about Tasmanian visual art.

A catalogue of the work on display at Cleburne is available on our blog.
