Local artists are invited to submit an expression of interest for the opportunity to exhibit their work at local businesses as part of the Eat.Drink.Art program in View Street during 2026.
The Eat.Drink.Art works will be on display at selected businesses from Saturday April 4 (Easter weekend) to Monday August 2, 2026, as part of the City of Greater Bendigo’s city centre activations.
Artists are asked to complete an expression of interest, including examples of their work and details about concepts they would like to develop for the exhibition.
Creative City Officer Mandy Field said the program continued to be a popular way for artists and businesses to connect since its inception in 2024.
“Eat.Drink.Art is a fantastic platform to showcase local talent, offering exhibition space and building exposure,” Ms Field said.
“It also helps businesses develop relationships with artists. We’ve already had strong support from View Street businesses for the Eat.Drink.Art art trail in 2026, which will be a great experience for residents and visitors.
“Selected artists will be paired with participating businesses, a collaboration that has proven highly successful in previous years.”
Eat.Drink.Art 2026 is part of a series of city centre public activations planned during the major redevelopment at Bendigo Art Gallery.
Expressions of interest close on Tuesday January 27, 2026. Shortlisted applicants will be notified by Tuesday February 3, 2026, and final selections by Thursday February 12, 2026.
