The exhibition will be open from 10am to 7pm daily and entry is free.
"The exhibition has been well received at the other locations it has already toured," said Jenny Churchill, Arts and Leisure Coordinator with Council.

The photographic exhibition includes volunteers from more than 45 local community groups.
Celebrate and Participate was put together to celebrate the Year of the Volunteer in Bass Coast, using funding from the Victorian State Government.
