Montville Art Gallery

Set in a 1890s Queenslander at 138 Main Street, Montville Art Gallery offers a chance to browse original art in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland. The gallery presents permanent work by 41 artists from the region, making it a useful stop for visitors who want to explore local creative practice while spending time in Montville’s historic village setting. The collection is focused on original artworks rather than a rotating exhibition program, so there is plenty to look through during a visit, whether you are searching for a piece for home or simply interested in seeing what local artists are producing.

The building gives the gallery a distinct sense of place. Montville is a picturesque hinterland town, and the gallery’s Queenslander setting places the art within the character of the village rather than a purpose-built retail space. It suits a quiet solo browse, a couple looking for a considered keepsake from a Sunshine Coast trip, or a small group combining gallery visits with the other shops and attractions along Main Street. Families and day-trippers can also add it to a broader Montville outing, although the website does not specify dedicated children’s activities or facilities.

For buyers, the gallery offers several ways to make a work more practical or personal. Layby is available on all works, with a 25 per cent deposit and the balance due within three months. The gallery can also arrange commissions when a work needs to be larger, smaller or in a different colour. If you are unsure how a piece will sit in your home, the team offers a Sunshine Coast service that brings works to your home and provides advice on placement before purchase. Worldwide shipping is available, with freight enquiries handled by email.

Montville Art Gallery is open from 10am to 4pm Thursday to Monday and closed Tuesday and Wednesday, with visits outside those hours available by appointment subject to availability. The gallery has a 4.7-star Google rating from 130 reviews. Its location makes it an easy inclusion in a Montville day trip, particularly for visitors already exploring the village, hinterland walks, local retail and nearby food and drink options.
