More than 40 artists in the Yarra Valley
area will open their studios to the public in one of the biggest
single arts projects in the region for many years. Visitors will be
able to spend an afternoon, a day or a whole weekend exploring the
rich diversity of art as it is made by Yarra Valley artists in September
2009.
Yarra Valley Open Studios program will include artists working in a
diverse range of mediums, from painters to potters, from goldsmiths
to photographers. By showing the artist in their creative context,
some of the mystery of the creative process will be revealed.
Supporters of the project include the Shire of Yarra Ranges, Yarra
Valley Arts Council and local business groups such as Healesville
Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
