The Inaugural
Melbourne Open Art Fair
is over for 2024

A Brilliant Success

We have achieved all our objectives:

  • we got 350 pieces of excellent art in front of hundreds of art-loving people;

  • we have raised a good sum to support the next round of our 'Blossoming' community workshops;

  • we met a terrific community of artists with whom we can plan for next year;

  • we have discovered half a dozen new artists for our Creative Melbourne Gallery and the Melbourne Festival...........and

  • we had a good - albeit knackering - time.

Check out the action on our Facebook page.

Artists, please be sure to follow the page to stay in touch with our plans for 2025.
