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.

KHOI BUI | JULIE MERRIGAN
EXOTIC & ALIEN
MAIN GALLERY
17 AUGUST — 16 SEPTEMBER | OPENING 3.30 PM SATURDAY 17 AUGUST
In Exotic & Alien Julie Merrigan and Khoi Bui employ introduced plant species metaphorically, exploring contested territories of belonging and estrangement, the familiar and the unheimlich, beauty and grotesquerie. Both artists were ‘transplanted’ into the Yarra Valley from elsewhere, and their perspectives disclose an otherness transcending visual representation.
As Bui has observed: ‘Flowers are a plant’s sexual organs. Investigating them poses questions regarding Western fetishization of imagined non-Western sexual attitudes, practices, and genitalia, presenting a wry twist on my experiences growing up in Australia as a non-Western queer man. The artwork titles furthermore juxtapose a sterile taxonomic system with images that imply lush sexuality and exotic unfamiliarity.’

27 October – 8 December | Entries Close 5 July

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.
