What is the Milk Factory Gallery’s story?

As its name suggests, the Milk Factory Gallery was once a former dairy depot for local farmers. Today, the 90-year-old building has been smartly transformed into a spacious gallery, retaining its heritage charm.

Its lofty, vaulted ceilings and airy and bright ambience create the perfect setting to present impressive works of art. With a large main exhibition hall, two smaller pop-up galleries and a mezzanine Annex Gallery, the Milk Factory has multiple spaces to discover incredible art in.

What kind of art can I see at the Milk Factory Gallery?

Exhibitions change monthly and you can expect to see anything from hand-crafted sculpture and native wildlife paintings to live painting sessions by local artists.

Whether you’re into traditional landscapes or experimental mixed-media pieces, the Milk Factory Gallery exhibits a diverse array of art so there is always something for everyone on display. The majority of the artworks are for sale too, so if you fall in love with a piece, it can be yours.

If you’re on a budget, pick up cards, prints, calendars and ornamental crafts at the gift shop.
