2nd weekend in November

TYERS ART FESTIVAL

The Tyers Art Festival has been running since 1979 and in 2024 will celebrate its 45th year. This is an amazing achievement, having grown from a small exhibition of local artists taking place in a local residence to becoming one of the major regional art events in Gippsland, attracting entries from throughout Gippsland, Victoria and beyond.

Each year the Tyers Art Festival delivers a vibrant and innovative arts event, providing Gippsland artists and beyond the ability to showcase their work and allow our many supporters and patrons the opportunity to view and purchase unique and original artworks. As always, the Tyers Art Festival is held on the second weekend in November.
Dates for 2024 being Friday 8th to Sunday 10th November 2024 at the Tyers Hall.The Tyers Art Festival Gala Opening is held on the Friday evening from 8 to 11 pm. The exhibition then continues Saturday from 10 am to 4 pm and Sunday from 10 am to 3:00 pm (tickets available at the door). In 2024, the Tyers Art Festival will have a limit of 550 entries.

We’re excited to see everyone’s submissions and will be offering fourteen major awards, five encouragement awards, eight Young Artist awards and a Popular Choice Award, where visitors to the Tyers Art Festival will be able to cast their vote for their favourite piece from all the artist's submissions at the exhibition over the weekend 8–10 November 2024.
SUBMISSIONS FOR ARTWORK are now Open.
"The Tyers Art Festival is a longstanding, innovative exhibition that responds to and recognises artists at all stages of their art journey across all mediums.

We are most appreciative of the ongoing support we receive from so many artists, both local and further afield, and look forward to seeing what amazing artworks are submitted."
