Art Vault, The

UNPRETENTIOUS ART AND PLENTY OF IT

The Art Vault in Mildura is an awesome initiative. It is a converted bank building with vaults intact, hence the name, which offers residency to local artists and an inexpensive way to hock their wares.

It is chockers with a great variety of divergent styles. The said vaults have an ingenious racking system which allows access to many times more pieces than you would see in a normal gallery.

Best of all, the staff and resident artists are unpretentious and only too willing to have a yack. That's the country for you, I guess, but I for one love it.
