Open house at Gasworks:

Gasworks has 15 resident artists who work from studios that were originally workshops for the South Melbourne Gas Works and we invite everyone to come and see how these old, utilitarian, buildings have been re-purposed to become places of creativity.

Over the weekend visitors can visit the open studios of our resident artists working in former workshops that still retain original features, and also see a display of historical photographs showing the evolution of Gasworks from the 1880s to now.

Childrens Activities:

There will be Clay in the Park, where soft clay tiles can be decorated by children using a range of tools and coloured slips. The tiles will be fired in our community kiln and can be collected during the Farmers Market on August 17. There will also be wildflower pressing activities on both days. Gasworks Resident Artists will lead the activities.

About Open House:

Open House Melbourne is an independent not-for-profit organisation that fosters public appreciation for architecture and public engagement in conversations about the future of our cities. They do this through the much-loved Open House Weekend—both in Melbourne and regionally—where tens of thousands of people come out to celebrate architecture and the city.
