As the temperatures drop and the last of the autumn leaves fall, it is time to celebrate all things wintery.
With school holidays upon us again, we have a range of activities for the little people in your life to enjoy – let’s get crafty and get arty together!
Applications for Design Fringe close shortly – register now so we can share your creativity with our audience in September. To support those wanting to take part we have two Artist Speakeasy workshops to help you.
Oh, and of course, please pop into the galleries and spend some time with our current shows by four very talented women artists.
We look forward to seeing you soon.

NOW SHOWING
KATE BEYNON > THE SHAPESHIFTER’S HOUR
The Shapeshifter’s Hour explores supernatural themes, guardian figures and magical creatures. The imagery and characters expand on the artist’s interest in cross-cultural stories and mythologies. For Beynon, the idea of shapeshifting relates to diverse, hybrid figures who can adapt and transform, connecting to fluid notions of identity, and the gathering of kindred spirits. Exhibition runs till 4 September 2022.
LOUISA BUFARDECI > FIGURING
This exhibition presents over 100 string figure attempts, installed by the artist over three days. The string figures aim to replicate some of those published in String Figures: The Study of Cat’s Cradle in Many Lands by American ethnologist Caroline Furness Jayne in 1906. Bufardeci has chosen to make the string figures from face-mask elastic. The work questions how we can use the materials of our time differently, to help us rethink and refigure the way we do things. Exhibition runs till 4 September 2022.
HONOR FREEMAN > EBB
South Australian artist Honor Freeman uses the technique of slip-casting to produce exact replicas of often overlooked domestic items such as sponges, plugs and cracked bars of soap. Ebb explores the metaphoric qualities of water, drawing on the idea of tides and flooding as representative of our emotions and internal struggles. Exhibition runs till 4 September 2022.
LINDEN PROJECTS SPACE
MORGANNA MAGEE > DISTANT SHORES
CURATED BY ANNA MONEA
Developed in collaboration with members from the local community, Distant Shores combines documentary photography, family photos and written testimony to tell the story of the migrant experience through themes of cultural connection, memory, longing and loss. Magee and Monea worked with recently arrived migrants, refugees and people seeking asylum based in the City of Port Phillip, to create a series of photographic profiles celebrating cultural heritage.
> Exhibit with us! Application for the Linden Projects Space will open soon in October. To find out more detail information please contact projects@lindenarts.org.
