Biophilic Art Lab - 3 to 6 June 2025

Are you a visual artist with a passion for the natural world? Do you have experience in public art? The City of Melville invites you to apply for the Biophilic Public Art Lab, a unique professional development opportunity designed to explore how public art can serve not just our own species, but the displaced and disturbed species within our environment.
 
Melville’s Biophilic Public Art Lab is a four-day immersive experience co-convened with acclaimed consulting ecologist and science communicator Mandy Bamford. Artists will engage with experts from ecology, life sciences, and government departments to imagine our urban environments through the lens of another species and consider innovative solutions for integrating art and ecology.

Weekender Art Shows

A program to support local artists to exhibit and sell their artwork at the Canning Bridge Community Space. Exhibition packages available to all artists, amateur, emerging and professional and are perfect for artists who may not wish to commit to a full-scale exhibition in an established gallery space.

If you’ve always wanted to exhibit your work, have some new work to road test or just want to get a group of like-minded artists together for a show, then this space is for you! The space can be used for solo or group exhibitions.
