CONVERGENCE brings together distinctive artistic voices from regional supported studios in Victoria and Albury-Wodonga. We are fortunate to extend the exhibition until Saturday 27 September 2025.
This diverse exhibition challenges metropolitan-centric narratives by platforming creators whose geographical distance from cultural centres limits broader arts connections and opportunities.
CONVERGENCE features work by seven emerging and mid-career artists whose differing perspectives offer fresh insights into contemporary themes and regional experiences.
Artists featured include Helen Butcher and Jessica Madden (ArtGusto), Stella Childs (The Art Factory Albury), Housecat (Find Your Voice Collective), Stephen Hancock and Alex McKenzie (Artmania), and George Macaronis (Studio 92).
This project is proudly supported by the City of Melbourne Arts Grants and Creative Victoria, and venue partner Impact Neighbourhoods.
