For locals and visitors alike, the Artgeo Cultural Complex offers the best in art, heritage, and culture. Located within walking distance to the historic Busselton Jetty and the magnificent Geographe Bay, there is something for everyone. 

If you love heritage, the Courthouse Gallery offers an intriguing trip back in time. Built between the late 1850s and early 1860s the building reflects the transition from colonial courthouse to modern-day art house.  Once inside, you’ll discover a tempting range of high quality art, jewellery, pottery, glasswork, cards, photography, and woodwork. All of which has been hand crafted by Busselton's gifted artisans. And after your gift shopping, what better way to replenish your energy reserves than by enjoying a refreshing T2 tea or Yahava coffee complimented by one of the many sumptuous delights on offer at the Old Post Office Tea Rooms.  

The Courthouse Gallery precinct is also home to vibrant artists in residence along with the Busselton Art Society, the Busselton Woodturners’ Association, and the children's theatre group, Acting Up. They all welcome your visit. Yet, if modern Margaret River galleries are more your style, then don't miss visiting the Artgeo Gallery.

Situated directly across the road from the Courthouse Gallery is the Artgeo Gallery. The first thing you'll notice is the building’s stature along with its magnificent white arches. Once inside, the interior finish and gallery ambience is no less than impressive. Every four weeks the Artgeo Gallery exhibits exceptional artwork created by the region's most notable artists in addition to hosting touring national exhibitions. 

The Artgeo Cultural Precinct is proudly presented to you by the City of Busselton, its staff, and the many passionate volunteers who welcome you through the doors. 

Opening hours:

Courthouse Gallery: 10 am - 4 pm daily

Old Post Office Tea Rooms: Tue - Sat (10 am - 4 pm)
