ABOUT

As a long-established contemporary gallery on the Great Ocean Road we offer a thoughtfully curated destination to discover exceptional art. 

Our architecturally designed Gallery is a stand out cultural destination for both locals and visitors, showcasing the creative vibrancy of the Surf Coast – home to the second-largest population of professional artists in Australia. 

Operating for 25+ years, we are an experienced gallery committed to building long-term relationships with both artists and collectors where diverse artistic perspectives, practices, voices, and mediums, showcase the richness of Australian contemporary art.

We are dedicated to presenting a dynamic, diverse and curated program that celebrates artists from the Surf Coast, surrounding hinterland, and coastal hubs, with featuring select artists & artworks from further afield to enrich our offerings.

This thoughtful balance honours the unique creative identity of the Surf Coast while presenting outstanding contemporary artists from across the country.

Together, this approach has established Eagles Nest Fine Art Gallery as a destination for discovering exceptional contemporary art — where local stories, landscapes and creative spirit are experienced alongside nationally significant artistic practice, fostering meaningful connections between artists, collectors and visitors.
