A painting is music you can see and music is a painting you can hear.

“It was such a fantastic event. So well run, and such a friendly, encouraging environment. I had a ball. I hope you do it again!”

PAINT OUT TO MUSIC

GASWORKS ARTS PARK

‘Paint Out’ returns to Gasworks Arts Park in November, but this time professional and amateur artists, arty people of all ages and nature lovers will work with the magic of music. You are invited to paint, draw or sketch anywhere in our beautiful parklands during each 3 hour session, but now we are bringing music to your ears and through your hands. Live musicians will play different styles of music around the park so everyone can pick different aural vibes and paint the sounds in interpretive colours. At the conclusion of each ‘Paint Out to Music’ session, the completed artworks will be exhibited in the Foyer Gallery. Registration for ‘Paint Out to Music’ will be announced in late 2022 through our website.

GASWORKS ARTS TOURS

Go behind the scenes and meet our talented artists and craftspeople that make Gasworks Arts Park one of the most extensive arts precincts in Melbourne. Take a tour of our heritage multi-arts venue and park, guided by Visual Arts Manager Tracey McIrvine. Set in beautiful surrounds and buildings that were once the industrial gasworks site for the former South Melbourne gas plant, the site tells a fascinating story of how a busy arts precinct was developed from the remains of a once hissing, smoking (and even explosive!) factory site. Tours include visits to our resident artists’ studio spaces, current visual arts exhibitions and public art works in the park. Tours can be tailored to the special interests and requirements of your group.
