We're excited to share a new exhibition coming up at a very special location

Born out of the red ArtCube residency at Fleet Wines, South Gippsland Shire Council presents BACCHUS

We love shows the stray from the typical gallery space. It gives artists and curators a very unique opportunity to respond to site

Featuring some of our very own BACCHUS is on exhibition at Fleet Wines with an opening celebration on June 6 at 2pm.

🍇 🍇 🍇

Presenting Bacchus, a new exhibition featuring works by four local artists, Fiona Blandford, Jan Learmonth, Sarah Parkes and Ellen Taylor, curated by Jasmin McNeill. Responding to the winemaking process and surrounding landscape of Fleet Wines in Leongatha, each artist has created new works spanning wine painting, photography, flora installations, found object weavings and mixed media sculptures. Where wine is often cast as a signifier of the divine and wealthy, this exhibition insists on its origins in labour, process and impermanence, giving new meaning to Fleet's preoccupation with “capturing those fleeting moments”.

Have you seen this wonderful video of the ArtCubes? It was made just after the cubes left Toora the first time in 2024, all about the impact it has had across the shire for so many artists involved!

The ArtCubes have given our arts community so much and we're forever grateful ♥️

They're off to Fish Creek now for the Tea Cosy Festival! We're excited to see them reunited for a wonderful event. Check out their extensive list of happenings!
