///PERSPECTIVES///

Views and Vistas of the Valley brings together selected works that explore three intertwined genres: architecture and design; natural and civic landscape; and people and still-life. Together, these genres offer multiple vantage points on what it means to live in, look at, and belong to this valley landscape.

Landscape works extend this conversation from the built and domestic environments into natural and municipal space: from depictions of waterways or parks that are sites of recreation and memory, to interpretations of ecological shifts over time.

Incinerator Gallery—itself a heritage building of architectural significance—becomes both a container and generative ground for our latest exhibition.

Within its spaces the exhibition unfolds across three intertwined genres: architecture and design; natural and civic landscape; and people and still-life.

Within the architectural and design genre, these works reveal how built form—whether historic civic structures or evolving suburban fabric—shapes, and is shaped, by community identity.

These watercolour scenes are painted by our workshop tutor; artist Xiang Li. This Friday, Incinerator Gallery invites you to take inspiration from the landscapes of Moonee Valley in a relaxed watercolour workshop. Create your own landscape or urban scene inspired by the Maribyrnong River, local parks, streetscapes and other places that make our area unique.

No experience is needed—just bring a curious, creative mindset.

With easy-to-follow, step-by-step guidance, you'll learn essential watercolour techniques, including water control, creating texture for skies and foliage, and the basics of colour mixing. Inspired by the local landscape rather than a template, you'll create a finished artwork to take home.

Thank you to everyone who joined us on Friday night for the launch of Views and Vistas of the Valley, an exhibition of works drawn from the Moonee Valley City Council art collection.

This exhibition extends an invitation to see the valley anew: to appreciate the panoramic and the personal, the structured and the spontaneous, and the many ways in which a community can be seen—and can see itself—through art.

Thank you to everyone who joined us at Ascot Vale Library last weekend to celebrate the launch of Circulation, a stunning new collection of public artworks by artist Olivia Chin.

The collection brings together a work from Olivia's exhibition 'Body Field', originally presented at Incinerator Gallery in early 2024, alongside three new works and a series of community-created cyanotypes developed in collaboration with local participants.

Installed on the library's second level, Circulation reflects a collaboration between more than 20 community members, Moonee Valley Libraries, and the Incinerator Gallery.
