You’re Invited: Convergence

29 June

We are thrilled to invite you to our inaugural exhibition opening celebration for CONVERGENCE: Regional Perspectives, Saturday 26 July, from 2-4pm. A free event, coinciding with Open House Melbourne.

This diverse exhibition brings together distinctive artistic voices from regional supported studios in Victoria and Albury-Wodonga.

CONVERGENCE 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).
