This Saw Mill in the Macedon Ranges Is Hosting a Pop-Up Street Art Exhibition
Featuring work by some of Victoria's most prominent graffiti artists.
A half-acre worth of art is coming to rural Victoria. For one weekend only, the old Woodend Saw Mill in the Macedon Ranges will be transformed into a temporary gallery, featuring work by close to 100 different street artists.
Part of the Macedon Ranges Sustainable Living Festival, Art of the Mill is presented by No Fixed Address Gallery. Created in partnership with Alex McCulloch Art consultancy and Ken McGregor of the Australian Street Art Festival, the show will welcome a number of prominent graffiti artists, including Makatron, Adnate, Unwell Bunny, Kid Silk, Phibs, Facter and Ohnoes.
"This vast warehouse complex breaks down the division between gallery art and street art, with a mix of finished pieces and art-in-progress bringing the audience different moments of creativity," said McCulloch.
The free exhibition will be open from 10am to 6pm on Saturday, February 27 and Sunday, February 28. The Saturday will also feature live painting, bands and DJs all day, along with an art auction. 20 percent of all proceeds from the auction will be donated to the Macedon Ranges Wildlife Network, which operates shelters in the area for injured bush animals.
UPDATE: TUESDAY, MARCH 2
After a successful weekend, Art of the Mill have decided to extend the exhibitionand will open it from Thursday, March 3 to Sunday, March 6. For more information about Art of the Mill, go here.
