Original artworks from 40 talented artists will be on display at cafés, bars, businesses, and retail stores along View Street from April 4 to August 3 as part of the popular program Eat.Drink.Art.
Bendigo Venues & Events Creative City Officer Mandy Field said the program was now in its third year.
“The City of Greater Bendigo is delighted that this is the biggest Eat.Drink.Art. program so far, with more artists and more businesses involved to create a vibrant mix,” Ms Field said.
“The program is such a great way to offer local artists exposure and connect them with venues along View Street.
“it involves 40 local artists exhibiting their original works at 30 venues along View Street.
“The works are incredible and so diverse in style. They really make a statement in venues, so be sure to look out for them when you are having a coffee, dining out, or visiting businesses along View Street.
“People can contact artists directly for artwork sales or commission information.”
As part of the program, all‑abilities artists from DONUT Studios have created a large‑scale artwork on the Engine Room’s windows at 58 View Street.
“The City would like to thank all participating businesses for their enthusiasm and support in hosting the program and showcasing artists in this way, and the artists for sharing their beautiful work with a wider audience.”
Eat.Drink.Art.is part of a suite of activations planned during the Bendigo Art Gallery redevelopment. Other activations include View Street Amplified, a monthly live music event held on the steps of The Capital. Bendigo Art Gallery has also unveiled The People’s Gallery: Portraits from the collection, a striking presentation of enlarged portrait reproductions displayed across the hoarding on View Street.
