ART + MEL

Overview

There's constantly something new popping up in Melbourne. Whether it's a new gallery space or a fresh paste-up in the laneway on your way to work — it can be tough to keep up. But this weekend, online arts hub Redbubble have co-ordinated an event to let you in behind the scenes. On November 29-30, the city will be full of live art, floating galleries and "experiential hot spots". You're finally being let backstage on the magic.

The inaugural ART + MEL will see Federation Square turned into a giant bedroom — yeah, you read that right — featuring the work of over 100 local artists (and bonus free coffee from Code Black). Street artists Kaitlin Beckett and Matthew Dunn will be splashing some paint around Rutledge Lane for your entertainment. There'll also be a big artsy party at 1000 £ Bend from 6pm-1am on the Sunday night. Better yet, it's all totally free.
