Greater Dandenong’s annual display of diminutive art is back.
Now in its 16th year, the 9 by 5 exhibition features locally-conceived art on small boards measuring nine by five inches.
More than 250 works are on display, covering a range of mediums and styles. And they’re up for sale at an affordable price.
Celebrating its 16th year, 9 by 5 commemorates an original 1889 exhibition held in Melbourne.
That initial exhibition featured well-known artists Tom Roberts, Charles Conder, Arthur Streeton and Frederick McCubbin, each creating works on 9 by 5 inch cigar tin lids.
The public is welcome at the exhibition’s opening event at Walker Street Gallery on Saturday 22 April, 2pm-4pm.
Visitors can also vote for their favourite artist in the People’s Choice Awards. Both the chosen artist and voter win a prize.
9 by 5 is at the Walker Street Gallery and Arts Centre from Tuesday 18 April – Friday 7 July. Entry is free.
