Overview
It's no secret that Melbourne is trying to become New York. As if the cafes, theatre, and galleries weren't enough to prove it, we're even seeing a huge influx of US style food joints. Who ever thought ribs and coleslaw would be the fashion? Anyway. This latest initiative is also from our cosmopolitan heartland — straight out of Tribeca.
When curator Bernadette Alibrando travelled to New York in 2006, she discovered an amazing non-profit organisation, TOAST, that started discussions between emerging artists and the general public. Meet the Makers is a Melbourne version of that same event. From March 27-30, artists from Fitzroy and Collingwood are inviting you into their studios and working spaces to talk about art, free of charge. A simple booking via email gets you a VIP ticket into the heart of spaces like Strange Neighbour, Fehily Contemporary, and SLOPES to talk to makers as diverse as iPad artist, Rebecca Jones, and stencil painter, Ha Ha. Discover some new and exciting work straight from the source.
