A1 DAREBIN ART SALON

The City of Darebin in Melbourne’s north is home to diverse creative practitioners and, each year, the A1 Darebin Art Salon offers a snapshot of their approaches, subjects and sensibilities. The art prize is open to artists and crafters at any stage of their careers who live, work or study in the area. This time it features over 150 artists whose work covers every two-dimensional (and spanning into the three-dimensional) manifestation imaginable. Spread across Bundoora Homestead Art Centre’s ground and upper level galleries, the prize exhibition guides visitors into an enclave of vibrant artworks. Curatorial pairings can be seen throughout the show, where nearby works share a synergy – some subtle, others bold, but all with satisfying visual and contextual links.
