Open Studios in the West

Overview

Over two days this week discover the hidden masterpieces of artists living and working in Melbourne's inner west with Maribyrnong City Council's Open Studios in the West. Through a self-guided tour, you'll be able to wander in and out of the studios, galleries and workshops of some of Melbourne's most interesting artists, performers and designers in Footscray, Yarraville, Maidstone and Braybrook.

These artists will welcome you into their studios — be it their backyard shed, a warehouse, or even their own lounge room. It's a great opportunity to experience the inspiration and working spaces of a diverse range of the city's creatives.

Alongside the artistic wandering, the Maribyrnong City Council will be hosting a number of events, including an illustration exhibition by artist-in-residence Serene Lau, artist talks at Footscray Library and drawing workshops at The Art Room in Footscray. For the full program, visit the website.
