ART ON THE PIER

Art On The Pier was launched in Queenscliff in November 2021 and since that time this unique event has grown to become the biggest outdoor art & photography exhibition in Australia with over 200 works on exhibit at Queenscliff in 2024. We now host three outdoor exhibitions around Port Phillip Bay, the Queenscliff Pier December 1st - April 30th, Rosebud Pier February 1st - May 30th and the South Melbourne Pier June 1st - September 30th. Each of these exhibitions attracts many thousands of visitors and is growing each year. Art On The Pier is an innovative & truly exciting outdoor event that has proved to be very successful for participating artists & photographers with many confirming that they have had increased traffic & enjoyed additional sales attributable to the exhibitions. Please see our Exhibition Reviews page.

Each year the Queenscliff Pier entries are judged by our panel in February, and the winners are announced in March. The overall winner of the Queenscliff Pier exhibition is awarded the Queenscliff Art Prize.

Entries for the Queenscliff Pier exhibition can be submitted from the 1st of June 2024. See our Exhibition Entry Form for all details.
