SHARE YOUR STORY

Montsalvat is proud to be one of six chosen organisations for the Victorian Women’s Public Art Program. As part of this program, the Women of Montsalvat project aims to uncover the untold stories of the women who contributed to the construction, arts practice, and culture of our unique artist community. The stories we uncover will ultimately contribute to the creation of a sculpture to sit at the entrance of Montsalvat in celebration of our founding women artists.

Montsalvat is seeking information about the women who were fundamental to the founding and development of Montsalvat. We are focusing predominantly on the time between 1934 and 1960. If you knew, or have a connection to our founding women, we welcome your stories.



Please use this story sharing platform to share your memories, photos and documents of Montsalvat’s founding women artists, or to send us a message. All questions are optional.
