CS Gallery presents a curated exhibition program of local and visiting professional artists. The gallery focuses on community access to high-quality contemporary art, and provides an experimental and contemporary arts space where professional artists have a platform to engage with emerging social and cultural issues that are relevant to the local community.
Melton City Council's exhibition program encourages artists to further share their work with the community through public programs and interactive arts experiences that bring their work alive for visitors.
Alongside CS Gallery, we have developed our exhibition spaces at Melton Library and Learning Hub and Melton Civic Centre to support local emerging artists through our Groundwork Exhibition Program.
Permanent Collection
CS Gallery and the City of Melton has a diverse public art collection which includes permanent sculptures and mural commissions.
Since 1999, Melton City Council has been developing public art opportunities in selected urban spaces in the local government area. This has led to the commissioning of a number of new works which have been well received and supported by the local community.
Melton City Council is committed to the development of a vibrant arts community, providing opportunities to activate and enhance the public realm through public art, participatory art projects, exhibitions and events, and learning opportunities. CS Gallery is the flagship cultural institution in the City of Melton.
Highlights of the collection include On Tap by Simon Perry at Lake Caroline, Growth by Warren Langley at Melton Library and Learning Hub, and Words for Water at Caroline Springs Library and Learning Hub.
