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.

Poets Walk

Poets Walk

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.

Volunteers Urgently seeking volunteers to spend a day in the gallery, and what a delightful place to spend some time!

Opening hours 10.30am to 3.30pm (5 hours if possible) As a community based organisation, the Gallery is able to accommodate volunteers as part of Centrelink's job seeking obligations. Please contact us if this might...
