Join us this Friday, 17 July for the opening night of Views and Vistas of the Valley, an exhibition of works drawn from the Moonee Valley City Council art collection.

Views and Vistas of the Valley 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.

Squash like you’ve never seen it before!

Built for a sport once among the nation’s most loved games, the walls of the Essendon courts will be taken over by this breath-taking musical battle.

Dreamed up by Speak Percussion, Squashed is a unique, site-specific contemporary music performance.

Join Kaylie Melville (vibraphone), Marshall McGuire (harp), Maria Moles (drum kit) and Rohan Dasika (bass) - as they serve and volley, drive and boast, flam and strike, bow and pluck; reimagining a forgotten sport into a tournament for percussion and strings.

This event is part of Moonee Valley Council's Art in Surprising Places program. Link in bio for details.

Experimenting with texture will be the focus in June's Gallery Sketchers session, happening this week. We will experiment with different ways to draw texture by incorporating various techniques in mark making, using a variety of pencils and tools.

The exhibitions currently on show at Incinerator Gallery are filled with textural inspiration from fabrics to metalwork, through to ceramics and photographs rich with natural textural elements.

Thursday, 11 June, 10am
All materials are provided but feel free to bring your own pencils too.

Attendance is free, although we recommend booking via our website. Linked in bio.

Mobile-making fun at last month's Arty Tales ✨

Last Friday’s Arty Tales saw our creative young participants and their carers make colourful, textural mobiles. Guided by our Barking Spider Creative educator, Laura, the children were led through a physical treasure hunt inside the room, exploring different textures, before starting on their bright, colourful artworks. Materials used were leaves, feathers, bubble wrap, shells and more.

Join us in our next session this Friday, 5 June at 9.30am. Book via the link in our bio.
