This is the sixth time we have held The Brooch Show... It is an
exhibition of small wearable artworks, hence the title, The Brooch
Show... This popular exhibition showcases small wearable artworks by
both established and emerging contemporary artists and offers
participating artists the opportunity to gain exposure for their art at
low entry cost. By having a theme of small wearable artworks, artist’s
have an opportunity to submit works via Australia Post. In the last
exhibition, we had 228 "brooches" on public display, representing 67
individual artists. (and good sales!) This year, The Brooch Show... will
again ‘tour’ to two different venues in Melbourne, Victoria
