Frankston City Heritage Study

3.1 The Public Buildings
Art Galleries

The artistic heritage of the region is illustrated by the McClelland Art Gallery in McClelland Drive, Langwarrin, which was opened on 3 May 1971 by the Premier of Victoria, Sir Henry Bolte. It is located on the site of an art camp, where artists gathered at the turn of the century. This art gallery and "Studio Park" were gifts of Miss A.M. McClelland in memory of her brother, Harry McClelland. The foundation stone was laid on 12 October, 1969 by Sir Daryl Lindsay. The gallery is funded by State and Council grants, bequests and donations.

As well as rotating displays, practical classes in the various art forms have been held in adjacent annexes. 1
