The Great Alpine Gallery features a range of exhibitions throughout the year.
You may find a themed exhibition featuring work by local artists and community members, or an exhibition from a particular artist. The Gallery also supports travelling exhibitions and region-wide events.
Our artists are the lifeblood of the Great Alpine Gallery. The Gallery features the work of multiple artists working across a huge range of media. Many of our artists are also the volunteers you'll find working in the gallery.
Swifts Creek resident John Butler was a sculptor and poet who wrote “A River’s Mark” after the 2008 floods. He had a vision of creating the Poet’s Walk consisting of a walking track with six rock cairns with each cairn displaying a verse of his poem.
In 2002 John Butler kicked off the concept and development of the Poets Walk in Swifts Creek, with his poem "The River" inspiring us all. He passed away in 2014 before he could see it as it is now, with his poem on stone cairns and a beautiful walking track following the waterways. To see a poetry event at this site is really what it is all about! Come along and share what is really a celebration of nature and art!
