Artists Wanted for 2025 Golden Spaces Summer Exhibition
Golden Plains Shire Council is thrilled to announce that Expressions of Interest (EOI) are now open for the 2025 Golden Spaces Summer Exhibition.
Golden Spaces is a free, community-based program offering group art exhibitions across three locations: The Bannockburn Cultural Centre, The Well at Smythesdale and the Golden Plains Civic Centre.
This exciting initiative celebrates and promotes the talent of artists from across the Shire and surrounding regions, increases access to the arts for the community within a local setting, and provides professional development opportunities for both emerging and established artists.
Golden Spaces officially entered its second year with the launch of the 2025 Winter Exhibition on Saturday 7 June. The 2024 Summer Exhibition is also currently on display at The Well in Smythesdale.
EOI’s are open now until 5pm, Friday 29 August 2025. To submit an EOI, visit goldenplains.vic.gov.au/golden-spaces.
