Greater Dandenong City Council continues to encourage artists to shine.
Local creatives are encouraged to enter the 9 by 5 exhibition, which commemorates an original 1889 exhibition held in Melbourne. The original exhibition featured the works of well-known artists Tom Roberts, Charles Condor, Arthur Streeton and Frederick McCubbin, where they created works on 9 by 5 inch cigar tin lids.
Now, through Council’s 9 by 5 exhibition, artists are encouraged to create their work on a small board measuring nine by five inches, using a range of mediums and styles.
Artists can purchase the boards from the gallery and all artworks will be available for sale throughout the exhibition.
Registrations close Friday 10 March but be quick as there are only a limited number of boards available.
Find out more and register here.
The 9 by 5 exhibition is at Walker Street Gallery and Arts Centre from 18 April–23 June.
Walker Street Gallery and Arts Centre is open Tuesday–Friday from 12pm-4pm.
Entry to the gallery is free.
