Alphington open studios weekends

Coming up at the end of the month, we’re super excited to be hosting three artists this year - Sharon West, Katie Roberts and Maxine O’Brien.

Put the dates in your diary and take a stroll through the neighbourhood to experience another great year of local art.

On the first Saturday (25 November) you’ll also be able to get your Christmas shopping done at our Christmas Makers Market.

We love supporting local artists and also love creating opportunities for new people from the neighbourhood to engage with our centre. So thanks once again to everyone who came along to the Winter Arts Exhibition this year.

And a special thank you to the artists that volunteered their time to promote the event, hang the work and manage the space over the weekend.

Here are some photos from the open night.

Winter art exhibition

Thanks everyone who came along over the weekend to check out our exhibition. It was super once again. We had lots of new artists and some long standing artists participate. Around 65 works were in the show which was just great!

I’ll post some more pictures this week - but in the meantime here’s a photo of it being hung on Thursday evening - featuring Beatrice and Rob.

And a photo from Friday lunch ‘in the gallery’. Thanks CWA for the yummy meal!

Thanks to everyone who entered works, helped hang or mind the gallery and of course those that came along and bought art to support our local artists.

If you missed it, keep the Alphington Open Studios on your radar - on in late November/early December.

Winter Art Exhibition

Coming up in 2 weekends! If you are a beginner or more established artist you can join in our exhibition. Click here.

Love arty or doing artsy-type things???? Join us for drinks on Friday night from 5-7pm (18 August) or pop in Saturday or Sunday 19-20 August from 10am-4pm to see the works on display … It is great when we all come together to support and celebrate our creative community!

Art on the fence

We’ve got some super new art on the fence - created by our Access All Abilities artists who attend on Friday afternoons.

Over the last financial year the program has been supported by the Community Bank in Queens Parade at Clifton Hill. Thanks!

Clare runs a fabulous session weekly that explores different mediums and follows the interests and skills of those attending. Last term they explored weaving and collage. This term they are looking at printmaking.
