The exhibition was great; thanks to all that came!


After a three-day bump-in the 12,000$ artists collective had everything in place, transforming the underground with a display of artworks made throughout their residency.

Thanks to Mayor of the City of Yarra, Cr Geoff Barbour, for attending alongside many other local residents, friends, colleagues and family.  

The event was well attended considering the winter chill.  The beautiful food made by Cultural Catering combined with fresh chai and popcorn made all the difference.  Nothing beats those hand-made Timorese Tarts.

Special thanks to the Yarra Men's Shed, as well as Belgium Ave and Collingwood Neighborhood Houses for the extra extension leads, temporary walls and doing all you could do to get us over the line in time.  We did it!

Also a big thanks to Sunny Qui for getting everyone's chi flowing (and making us laugh) with his wonderful Yu Ling workshop.

Below are images of what was a grand event.   Enjoy!  Thanks to Sue Kent for many of these images.
