Strait Works Gallery

The Furneaux Community Arts group manage and operate the Strait Works Gallery on the main street in Whitemark presenting a varied, regional representation from local artists and makers. The gallery houses a new exhibition or display every month and this small community gallery has been a focus for the Flinders Island arts and crafts since it opened in 2006 and is staffed entirely by volunteers. The Gallery has featured individuals, groups of artists, local crafts people, the School, environment and community groups as well as travelling exhibitions. During the summer tourist season, Strait Works Gallery also operates a shop, where a wide range of original arts and crafts – paintings, photographs, cards, jewellery, knitted items, sculptures from recycled goods, and textiles – are available for sale.
