Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery presents a major survey exhibition of internationally celebrated Australian jeweller Helen Britton. 'The Story So Far' brings together decades of work spanning sculptural... jewellery, drawing and installation — a rich and provocative body of work that blurs boundaries between adornment and art object. Open Tuesday to Sunday, 11am to 4pm, with free entry.

Alongside the Helen Britton survey, MPRG presents 'Sifted Light' by Polish-Australian artist Natalia Milosz-Piekarska — a meditative new body of work exploring the interplay between natural light, textile... and memory. The exhibition transforms the gallery into an immersive environment of layered translucency and soft colour. Free entry, open Tuesday to Sunday 11am–4pm through to late August.

Throughout winter, Pt. Leo Estate offers complimentary weekday entry to its world-class outdoor sculpture park for residents of the Mornington Peninsula. Explore over 50 extraordinary works by Australian... and international artists set across sweeping grounds with views to Western Port Bay. A wonderful chance to experience one of Australia's finest private sculpture collections at no cost — just show proof of local address at the gate.

Port Phillip Estate's acclaimed Books and Ideas speaker series returns on Friday July 17 with an intimate evening conversation with journalist, author and broadcaster Stan Grant. Guests gather from 6:30pm... for dinner in the stunning estate restaurant before the conversation begins — a rare chance to engage with one of Australia's most compelling public thinkers over fine Peninsula wine. Tickets are strictly limited.
