The Lorraine Family welcomes you to visit
Warragul Art Studios and the WAS Gallery

Warragul Art Studios and the WAS Gallery is the culmination of the Lorraine family’s life long involvement in the arts. Having grown up in a family of artists, Anne Lorraine held a long time dream of creating an inspiring place to house and show their decades of creative work. Prior to acquiring the property, Anne was already familiar with 37 Latrobe Street as a fabulous and well kept example of Art Deco architecture, perfect for a gallery and art studios and worthy of renovation and preservation.

Located in the heart to Gippsland, the family now welcomes visitors to view exhibitions featuring oil and watercolour paintings, ceramics, jewellery and object design, photography and illustration.

•  Please check exhibition dates on the website, WAS Gallery closes between shows for dismantling and setting up.

•  WAS Gallery 2025. This year we have special events planned to celebrate our 5th anniversary.
