Flinders Community Art Show 

   Melbourne Cup Weekend

   30 October – 2 November 2026

About Us

OUR MISSION is to give opportunities to Peninsula artists to market their works and with the revenue generated to give financial assistance to sustain community needs on the Mornington Peninsula, particularly the homeless and those who need help.

OUR HISTORY

The Flinders Art Show was started as part of an effort to reinvigorate the ladies committee of St John’s Church of England, Flinders, to raise funds for parish work. From its small beginnings in 1967 the Flinders Art Show has continued to grow, dependent, as always, on the goodwill, hard work and generosity of our local traders, financial donors, award sponsors and community in general, from which our committee members and volunteers are drawn.

2026  WORKING COMMITTEE

President Trish Hurley, Vice President Melissa Smith, Secretary, Mary Iles, Treasurer Rhonda Whitehead. Committee Warren Joel, Barb Labb and Sally Moran
