Spring 1883

Overview

Contemporary art featured in galleries around the world will be on display at The Hotel Windsor this week, as part of the third annual Spring 1883. Returning to the iconic Spring Street venue this week, the free collaborative event will go ahead despite the cancellation of the 2016 Melbourne Art Fair, to which it was originally attached before the latter's untimely demise.

Open to the public from noon until 6pm August 18 through 21, this year's event will boast art from more than two dozen galleries. Among the international contingent you'll find work from KANSAS Gallery in New York and Southard Reid in London, while local players include Sydney's Gallery 9 and Alaska Projects, and Melbourne's Murray White Room. The pieces on display promise to be similarly diverse, ranging from photography to ceramics to portraiture and more.
