We are thrilled to know that our donations from last years open garden at La Riva for the East Gippsland Winter Festival went towards this fabulous film making workshop for local young people 👇🏼

What a wonderful initiative organised by East Gippsland Art Gallery. We understand the value and important of high quality photography and film and love that this program has exposed local young people to potentially spark a passion that could quite easily become a career. All here in East Gippsland too - wonderful.
