Mount Alexander Shire Council is calling for local artists and organisations to express their interest in exhibiting their work as part of the 2023-2024 Phee Broadway Theatre Foyer Exhibition Program.
The Phee Broadway Theatre, which is located on Mechanics Lane in Castlemaine, is a community gathering place, where creativity is fostered, people connect, and shared narratives are explored.
Council’s Manager of Economy and Culture, Merryn Tinkler, said that this program is a great way for Council to support local artists.
“The foyer of the Phee Broadway Theatre is a highly-used community area, which makes it perfect as an exhibition space,” said Ms Tinkler.
“We’re lucky here in Mount Alexander Shire to have a talented and engaged community of artists, and we’re proud to be able to support them with a free space to showcase their work in a professional setting.
“We had an amazing selection of work exhibited through the program last year. We showcased drawings, printmaking, woven tapestry and videography – to name a few!
“We’re currently seeking expressions of interest from all sectors of our artistic community, and we’re looking forward to seeing what our local artists have in store.”
Expressions of interest at now open and close on Friday 12 May at 5.00pm, with the first exhibition in the program set to open to the public in June.
