Experience our ongoing program of solo and collaborative exhibitions by some of Australia's finest emerging and established artists
Our historic Cellar Door c. 1859 with its rustic charm, high ceilings and whitewashed brick walls operates as both a tasting room and an art gallery. Yering Station Art Gallery has been exhibiting emerging and established Australian artists in all art forms since 1998. Exhibitions are located in the Main Gallery and in the Winery Viewing Gallery, with shows rotating every four to six weeks. A selection of outdoor sculptures are also on display in the gardens and on the Sculpture Terrace overlooking the Yarra Ranges. Commissions on artwork sales are donated to My Room Children’s Cancer Charity.
Artworks can be purchased through the Yering Station Cellar Door.

ERNST FRIES 1934 – 2020
INTERACTION
MAIN GALLERY
16 MARCH — 27 APRIL
Interaction pays tribute to the oeuvre of German-born Yarra Valley sculptor Ernst Fries 1934 – 2020 by bringing together artworks from different periods of his long career, including a series of giclee prints from the 1970s which are being exhibited for the first time. The way humans interact with Australia’s unique environment was a central theme to which Fries returned time and again, and his decision to build a home and studio in Yarra Glen in 1985 was born of a deep respect for nature and a need to creatively interact with the natural world. As such, the many human habitations Fries sculpted find their strength in a harmonious relationship with sunlight, sky, mountains, rivers, animals and plants.

YARRA VALLEY ARTS | YERING STATION
SCULPTURE EXHIBITION AND AWARDS 2024
The Yarra Valley Arts | Yering Station Sculpture Exhibition & Awards is a collaborative event hosted by Yering Station, a premier winery in Victoria’s Yarra Valley, with an arts program encompassing painting, photography and sculpture, and Yarra Valley Arts, a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to enriching the cultural lives of Yarra Valley residents and visitors.
The exhibition presents new Australian sculpture, in all mediums, by emerging, mid-career and established artists. Having grown steadily since 2001, it is now the longest running annual sculpture exhibition in Victoria and an iconic event on the Australian arts calendar.
Staged across dramatic landscaped gardens designed by Michael McCoy, the exhibition provides ample opportunities for the installation of outdoor sculpture, while the long indoor corridors and breezeways offer indoor and sheltered spaces. Finalists are encouraged to visit the property and to select a site which best suits their work.
The exhibition at Yering Station runs alongside a concurrent exhibition of sculpture staged through the Collins Street offices of long-standing sponsor Arnold Bloch Leibler. In addition, a small sculpture exhibition is hosted by Yarra Valley Arts at YAVA Gallery & Arts Hub in Healesville, and all entrants are invited to submit a small sculpture for consideration.
Dr Ewen Jarvis (Exhibition Coordinator and Curator, Yering Station Art Gallery and Yarra Valley Arts | Yering Station Sculpture Exhibition & Awards) is a professional art curator, writer and public academic with over a decade of public art presentation and arts administration experience.
The event takes a 30% commission on sculpture sales, 20% of which is donated to My Room Children’s Cancer Charity, while 10% is donated to Yarra Valley Arts towards the provision and promotion of arts events across the region.
The sculpture exhibition is supported by long term sponsors who share the vision and aims of the organisers — to foster the development and appreciation of contemporary Australian sculpture in a way that supports those affected by childhood cancer. Arnold Bloch Leibler – lawyers and advisers, and Yarra Ranges Council have been particularly strong supporters across the years. The event is also supported by a growing number of esteemed arts professionals who have been members of the selection and judging panel in the past and who assist us in growing the event’s profile.
