In Pictures: Our Pop-Up Art Gallery
Last week we held our first Melbourne pop-up art gallery as part of the Fringe Festival. In the stunning setting of Gasworks Arts Park we set up camp in The Boardwalk Republic, the south side Fringe Hub hosted by After Dark Theatre. With circus, theatre, music, food and of course art, a good time was guaranteed for all. Our pop-up gallery showcased an eclectic mix of both emerging and established Australian artists, who use a wide range of mediums to produce superb original artworks. For those of you that couldn’t make it, let us give you a guided tour of what you missed…
