Our latest exhibition is being installed at this very moment! 
The artists whose work has graced our front fence for the last few months have all banded together for an inside exhibition as well! We’re thrilled to have the very talented Jacqueline Kyle, Catherine Hull Sinclair, Kim Dingwall and Robyn Rich gracing our walls with their art.
The exhibition opens this Sunday as part of our Open Day celebrations, so we invite you down to see My World, Your World, wander through the rooms where some of our 2013 Artists in Residence will be working then hang about in the sunshine, listening to the music of Yasamine Moslih, Jessica Paige and Eva Popov or wander down to the Laurel Lodge lawn to find a bargain in the Suitcase Rummage market.
We’ll see you this Sunday!

Heritage Hill launches its 2013 season with a free Open Day on Sunday the 3rd of February. We’ll be hosting a Suitcase Rummage market, there will be chilled out tunes in the Rose Garden from some of our favourite musicians and a free arts workshop for kids.
A rare glimpse of vintage fashions will also be showcased in Heritage Hill’s Laurel Lodge. These garments, ranging from the 1940s to the 1970s, were all handmade by Mrs Dorothy Hart of Benga house and have only ever been publicly displayed once prior. (more…)

Now it’s getting warmer, Sundays in the Sun is starting up again! For those of you who are new to our blog, Sundays in the Sun is a monthly relaxed afternoon of live music, family friendly activities and entertainment in the gardens. Bring a picnic and enjoy the fun, festivities and awesome live music in Heritage Hill’s beautifully manicured grounds from 12 to 3. It’s a free event!
Our musicians this month are:
Hello Satellites – Hello Satellites is the new project from Melbourne songwriter Eva Popov. It moves in the pop world whilst maintaining a depth that belies the escapism of modern pop music.
Jessica Paige – Singer, songwriter, guitarist and multi award winner Jessica Paige started her music career at the age of 15. Influenced by the Beatles, Elton John, Billy Joel, Rufus Wainwright, Ray LaMontagne and Van Dyke Parks, ‘The Music Network’ quoted her writing as “gorgeous melodies and delicious lyrics to match” while Adam Hills calles her “my favourite singer song-writer”
Gwendolyne O’Dea – with performances at the Apollo Bay Music Festival and appearances as a guest on both ABC 774 and Triple R Gwendolyn’s fast paced folk and country vocals give her the edge.
So come along and enjoy the day. We’ll see you this Sunday at Heritage Hill.
October’s exhibitions, events and artists in residence

October is a busy month here at Heritage Hill. We have oodles of things going on, take a deep breath and here we go…
Our two exhibitions this month are LINEages of Dandenong, by Pixi Mix in Benga house and Never Too Old To Create by a local group of older artists in Laurel Lodge. 
This is LINEages of Dandenong, in which Pixi Mix has created massive, life-sized charcoal drawings of historical photos of Dandenong’s citizens which are interspersed with details of present day Dandenong on transparent architectural paper layered together on the wall. The result is a ghostly presence of then and now all culminating is a beautiful visual investigation into the identity of Dandenong.
Meanwhile, down in Laurel Lodge we have Never Too Old To Create from a group of older artists, aged 78-92. These artists are proving that older people still have contributions to make to the community. The over 40 works have been painted over the last few years by this spritely bunch of ladies and gentlemen which portray a wide variety of subjects including gardens, animals, still lives and even a few marine-themed images from around the world.
We also have Sundays in the Sun starting up again. So next Sunday the 14th of October we have Gwendolyne O’Dea, Jessica Paige and Hello Satellites playing chilled out tunes in the gardens from 12-3. So pack a picnic and come hang out at Hertiage Hill.
And we have our final Artist in Residence for the year, The Society of Histronic Happenings down from Sydney, holed up in the Old School House researching Laurel Lodge and it’s stories for the next installment of their show The Governess.
So do drop by and check out one or all of these great happenings!
Spring has sprung, if only for a moment
Posted in Heritage Hill, the gardens, tagged Heritage Hill, the gardens on August 24, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
Oh my gosh, how lovely was the weather in Melbourne yesterday? So beautiful and sunny and warm! And our garden is responding to all this gorgeous weather by starting to put on it’s Spring finest. It was so colourful that one of the ladies in the office went for a wander in the garden to photograph some of the first spring flowers.
We thought sharing these photos was appropriate for today’s post, as the weather has turned windy, cloudy and chill again. So here are some beautiful flowers in full sun, to remind us Spring is almost properly here.
