Artbank Social Club 2014

Overview

Artbank’s annual Social Club is on again. Kind of like an art open day, it’s a chance to be all nosey and have a wander through their new premises. Like snooping, only you’re invited, so there’s no need to tiptoe around. There's the just launched Loose Canon exhibition to check out, plus some 3,500 artworks in their collection. Yup, that’s a whole lot of art.

Artbank's art leasing program supports Australian artists by buying the works of living artists and putting the money back into the art scene. It’s been doing this for 30 years now, and that means artists actually get to see their works hung on walls in some impressive institutions and homes.

And the social part of the day? Think live DJs, performance artists and hot dogs (Woofys Gourmet Hotdogs). Naturally, while you discuss the finer points of contemporary photography or painting, there will also be a few beverages to sip on.

The Artbank Social Club runs from 11am - 3pm.
