Artist Workshops

hosted by Melbourne Festival artists

Arts Melbourne helps members of the public to develop their creative skills at artist-led workshops.

Arts Melbourne aims to bring the best of the Creative and Performing Arts to Melbourne and South Derbyshire. In addition to the professional artists exhibiting each year on the Melbourne Festival Art & Architecture Trail, we have a deep commitment to arranging Creative Workshops for adults, community groups, and children in local Schools, Guides, Scouts, and Melbourne Library.

We are committed to persuading artists to share their skills and encourage members of the public to develop their creative skills. Our workshops are on a “not-for-profit” basis and participants pay a fee to cover the artists’s time, room hire, publicity, etc. Our “Get Creative” series of Saturday workshops are very popular, and we hope to continue through the Summer.

Visit our Creative Melbourne Gallery Facebook Page for full details of our programme.

Details of the workshops are shared on our Facebook and Instagram pages.
