Antipodean Palette 2022

“Step into the world of art with a coffee in hand through bustling Moreland, the cultural metropolis of Melbourne. For two weeks only, the Greek Australian Cultural League will be exhibiting the work of eight unique artists on 2.3 x 1.7 m posters on various locations in Brunswick, as part of an easily accessible Art Trail. Designed to encourage new discoveries and an appreciation for colour, space and line. The Art Trail takes no more than 60 minutes to cover by foot (although lingering is actively encouraged). It will include the work of respected artists from around Australia. Mediums include digital, photography, oils and acrylics”. -Maria Foroudi

There is no theme to this year’s Antipodean Palette however the exhibition is showcasing artists from the Greek Australian Artists Directory (GAAD), an important archive of Greek Australian art practice in Australia.

The work is presented in the heart of Brunswick, amidst shops, cafes and galleries. 

The eight works are printed on large posters and within walking distance of one another. They are situated on the corners of :

Glenlyon and Sydney Rds
Victoria St and Sydney Rd
Boase and Victoria Sts
