Art Galleries & Museums of Quorn

Quorn has many Artists living within the town and district. Some are well known, others just as good but on their way up. Art of all kind is practiced and the local artists cover as widely ranging things as  pottery, china painters, leadlight glass work, batik painting, sketches, charcoal drawings, classic and modern canvas art.

There are a number of places displaying Art for sale in the various forms, some solely devoted to this alone while others have it as a sideline. Three specialist galleries exist within the township. The gallery that once was situated at Yarrah Vale and often visited on the way to Warren Gorge is now at the National Bank building on Railway Terrace in Quorn.
