About the Herring Island Summer Arts Festival 2012
Herring Island Summer Arts Festival began in 2006 as a collaboration between the exhibiting arts groups, Parks Victoria and the Friends of Herring Island.
This followed on from the work of Maudie Palmer who, as curator of the Herring Island Environmental Sculpture Park, established the permanent collection of art works on the island and ran art exhibitions in the renovated scout hall.
Visiting the island is an adventure in itself in that access is across the Yarra River – most comfortably using Parks Victoria’s punt service. There is a $2/adult charge for the punt. The gallery is open and the punt operating only on weekends, Australia Day, Labour Day and Easter Monday. There is coffee available at the cafe near Como landing.
The landing is adjacent to the Capital City bike trail and some cycle parking is available near the landing.
