Thank you for applying to be a part of the Banyule Open Studios Program in 2026 where artists and their work are accessible to the public and celebrated! The Open Studios weekend is taking place on the weekend of the 10th - 11th of October and the opening event on the evening of the 9th of October 2026.
The Banyule Open Studios BOS program is a unique opportunity for Banyule artists and cultural groups to invite the wider public to visit their creative studio spaces within Banyule.
Participation in the program means your studio will be open to the public for the weekend. Your studio will feature in our App, on our brochure and you will have access to all BOS promotional material, including signage. Your work will also be highlighted on BOS social media.
BOS 2026 Group Exhibition Artists will be invited to participate in a group exhibition held at Loft 275 @ ILCH from the 20 August – 13 September 2026.
Ivanhoe Library and Culture Hub Artists without a studio are able to apply to show in a group studio at the Ivanhoe Library and Culture Hub. The group studio will be housed in the inviting community rooms.
We are currently waiting on the outcome of a grant application to be able to offer the public 20 art workshops and artist talks. This will be a paid opportunity for artists. The BOS committee are very pleased to be able to support artists in this way.
There will be friendly social events where you will be able to meet other artists and grow your arts network.
The BOS program is a collegiate and welcoming event run by artist volunteers for artists.
