YOUNG TALENT VICTORIA
The emerging artist scene in Melbourne is one of the most exciting of any creative city, their oeuvre and techniques still being refined, leading to an enormous sense of exploration and freedom in their work. It’s no wonder that our Young Talent exhibitions around the world are some of the most popular features of our fairs and present some of the most ground breaking works.
We’re delighted to announce for our 2022 Young Talent Exhibition we’ll be showcasing new bodies of work from artists under 35 Mark Chu, Liam O’Neil, Miranda Smith and Tegan Iversen. In addition, we’ll be revisiting the work of Alice.
CREATIVE HUB
There’s something for everyone at our Creative Hub with artists in action as well as colouring for the children.
Artists in Action
Throughout the fair exhibiting artists will demonstrate techniques in live painting sessions for you to watch and enjoy. Artists include watercolour painter Philip Edwards, award-winning artist David Hinchliffe, Leroy McLaughlin as well as acrylic painter Andria Beighton.
