ART-Town 2015
Your wander down Chapel Street just got artier.
Overview
Since 2010, the City of Stonnington has livened up their streets with ART-Town, two weekends a year where the south side is packed to the brim with live art. Over 130 artists will set up their stations to create pieces from the artistic domains of stencil art, murals, installations, photography, multimedia, digital, graphic art, illustration and painting. The artists are all Australian but not all Melbourne locals, which makes for some interesting interpretations of a city so many of us call home.
Highlights for this year’s ART-Town include Anthony Sawney’s abstract designs being painted on the grass at Grattan Gardens, and fine art body painter Susanne Daoud will demonstrate her work as process by painting a live model. For those more interested in street art, Jessica Kease's multilayered, award-winning stencil art is a thing of beauty, and Buff Diss' freehand pieces constructed from tape are both unusual and impressive. Have a blast exploring the Chapel Street precinct and make some new artistic discoveries.
