Montsalvat Historic Tour

Justus Jörgensen and his artist community

Description

Montsalvat, in Eltham, Victoria is an arts village and artist community spanning ninety years of continuous creative practice. Established in 1934, Montsalvat has fostered a deeply connected creative community and provided thousands of artists, musicians, writers, philosophers, poets and makers with the time, space and support to further their artistic practice.

Once a private semi-rural retreat for artists, Montsalvat has evolved into a public hub of creative opportunity; a place where art is made and taught as well as exhibited and performed. We offer art classes, studio places and short-term residencies to a wide variety of experienced and aspiring artists, along with numerous events and private function facilities across three dozen unique, heritage-listed buildings and five hectares of stunning grounds.

What's On

Participate in a guided tour of Montsalvat's buildings and grounds, exploring its historic significance and the many stories that live in the walls and pathways of the magical world of Montsalvat.
