Established in 1989, Qdos began as Lorne’s first contemporary
art gallery on Mountjoy Pde. Qdos was relocated to Allenvale road in 1998.
The new Qdos was designed in collaboration with Peter Brook director of Peddle Thorpe
Architects Melbourne and Graeme Wilkie, the director. The project involved 20 ton
of warehouse timbers, 300 ton of volcanic basalt and 30 ton of bluestone pavers
in the construction of the new Qdos opened in 1998.
The fresh beginning heralded the advance of Wilkie fulfilling the vision; decentralising
and integrating the arts from the city into forest. This new venue offered the scope
to bring a greater diversity of cultural events to Lorne. Of the 150 odd exhibitions
mounted at Qdos over the years, numerous acclaimed artists, musicians and performers
have been seen at Qdos. The summer season is busy with Art, Music Poetry and Cinema.
Art camps are conducted for children secondary and tertiary colleges.
The Sculpture Park
The three acre setting in the thick towering eucalypts features
a decorative pond surrounded by works of our leading sculptors. Each Easter Qdos
hosts the Annual Open Air Sculpture Exhibition featuring indoor and outdoor works.
