Peace of Green Gallery 

is 33 years old 

 

Peace of Green Gallery celebrated 33 years of continuous operation in 2026, and we proudly hold the title of Maleny's longest-running gallery. Originally opened in 1993, the retail space officially launched in January 1994 after extensive planning. With a humble beginning of just seven members, the gallery has welcomed nearly 100 artists over the years, many of whom have remained for several years. Owned and operated by its artist members, it has become a beloved institution in Maleny, with one of our represented artists on duty each day to assist customers and discuss the diverse range of art available for sale.

​

Established in 1994 in a cozy location adjacent to the Maple Street Co-op, it only took six months for interest the Gallery

to surge, necessitating a move to larger premises. When an antique space across the street became available, the group signed the lease and relocated there, where Peace of Green continues to thrive. Initially, the Gallery featured 17 artists, and it has since grown to include 25 active members, continually evolving over time. The founding members included Howard Jupp, Jo Shepard, Sally Anne Lancaster, Mick and Allie Hays, Cathy Lawley, Peg Lancaster, Marc Kalifa, and Jill Morris. Cathy and Marc remain active participants in the group today.
