CCP Limited Edition Fundraiser

Overview

In Melbourne we get a lot of things for free. With a thriving street art scene, and so many talented local artists happy to show their work in small galleries with no charge, we are frankly pretty spoilt. Our access to amazing photographers' work can sometimes be as simple as following them on Instagram.

It's important to remember, however, that the arts deserve payment just like any other industry. The Centre for Contemporary Photography (CCP) is one of Melbourne's best exhibition spaces, and it relies on fundraising and community support for 60% of its income. But fundraising isn't always bake sales and Freddo frogs.

From Thursday September 26, CCP will be showing a special exhibition of diverse photographic works for a limited three day period; all the works on display will be available for purchase with the proceeds going to both the gallery and the artist themselves. If you missed David Rosetsky True Self, a select few of his works will be on display alongside seven other artists: Ross Coulter, Siri Hayes, Eliza Hutchison, Paul Knight, Robert Rooney, Daniel von Sturmer and Lydia Wegner. From abstract neon forms to 1950s schoolyards, the photographs on offer should make for a diverse and striking exhibition experience. Prices range from $880 to $6,000, but if that doesn't sound like your budget, feel free to head along and marvel at the work before someone else takes it home forever.
