The Chewton Small

‘the Chewton Small’ will be Chewton’s, and possibly the worlds’s, newest and smallest art gallery. Designed to exhibit one artwork at a time, it simplifies the viewing experience, diminishing the dilemma of where to look, and liberating the exhibited artwork from the perils of comparison. It will facilitate an intimate dialogue between viewer and artwork, free from the distraction of competing alternatives. The exhibition will be renewed daily, with a new work installed, for the 10 days of the Castlemaine State Festival. A limited number of a signed momento of each artwork will be able to be collected at the gallery, with the reward of a full set for any committed to a daily visit! The gallery sits on Fryers Rd in Chewton, at the top of the Wattle Gully wetlands, with expansive views to the passing trains on the Bendigo line below – a seat is provided for those who would like to take advantage. Please note: there are specific entry and exits gates through which the gallery must be entered.
