There are many talented people living in and around Metung who have escaped the frenetic demands of city life.
Perhaps it is something in the salt air.
The beauty of the lakes, surrounding countryside and the encircling high country mountains inspire many.
Whatever it is that draws the artists to Metung and the surrounding area, there is an extraordinary number of potters, painters, photographers, glass and craft workers, masters in wood, jewellery and fabrics all making this region their home.
Their work is on display in many of the shops, galleries and markets in the village, and it is possible to see work in progress.
A tradition of art from our indigenous past to current day will delight you.
