Since May 2019 until January 2025, Lost Eden Creative has presented a continuous program of solo and group exhibitions, showcasing local, national, and international artists. Over six years, the gallery has hosted more than 50 curated exhibitions, supported over 400 artists, and established Dwellingup as a recognised cultural destination in the Peel region.
Major exhibitions have included participation in statewide initiatives such as The Creative Grids - Alternative Archives and Open Borders group exhibitions, and as one of the statewide host venues for the Indian Ocean Craft Triennial (IOTA) in both 2021 and 2024.
Beyond exhibitions, Lost Eden has facilitated music performances, film screenings, documentary evenings, and makers’ markets, drawing both locals and visitors into
Dwellingup’s creative community. The venue has also provided mentoring and exhibition opportunities for young emerging artists through artist residencies and collaborations.
2026 will see the evolution of Lost Eden Creative into a community-focused creative workshop hub.
The proposed development will:
- Expand opportunities for community participation in arts and creative learning
- Support intergenerational skill-sharing and inclusive cultural engagement
- Generate employment opportunities for locals, builders, craftspeople, and facilitators
- Stimulate creative tourism and local economic activity
- Reinforce Dwellingup’s identity as a creative and cultural hub within the Peel region

"These works are born of my connection with the hills of the Darling Range.
Their wild woods and shallow peaks.
Their shadowed folds and forest tracks.
My Darling.
My sequestered home, most ancient scarp.
A sylvan haven for my searching heart."
