Art in the Vines – Sculpture in Motion 26 October 2019 – 23 February 2020
This is an exhibition of kinetic sculpture. We’re talking art that is made of various mediums but that depends on motion for its effect.But this is far from your ordinary display of sculptures that simply move in the wind - to set this exhibition apart, some artists have accepted our challenge to address the possibilities and limitations posed by having to mount their work on three-metre high poles. In a real boon for the event, renowned Exhibition Curator, Malcolm Thomson has again been engaged to deliver Art in the Vines. He has worked with 15 world-class artists to develop and create sculptures that will thrill, mesmerise, excite and intrigue.
Hanging Rock Winery is at 88 Jim Rd, Newham VIC 3442 Entry to the exhibition is free.

Creative Victoria has released the Audience Atlas of Victria
The Audience Atlas 2019 reports on Victorians’ appetite for arts and cultural experiences and these insights will be used to build the overall strength and sustainability of the sector. Commissioned by Creative Victoria, the study tells us who is attending what cultural event, who wants to attend more, and why they go. With so much data on all sectors of the creative industry, the Atlas provides Victorian arts organisations with a powerful tool to help grow their audiences and supporters. More than 4,000 Victorians (aged 16+) participated in the study from across the general population. Highlights: Victorians love the arts! 93% of Victorians - or 4.4 million people - attend or want to attend arts and cultural events. 1 in 4 Victorians intend to increase their arts and culture attendance in the next 12 months. Film is the most popular art form with 9 in 10 Victorians catching a film in the last three years, followed closely by live music and museums. People of all ages are attending arts events – 29% are under 34 years of age. Art isn’t for the elite. 64% of the market earn less than the average wage. Long live TV! Free to air television has the highest rate of media consumption with 9 in 10 Victorians watching at least an hour per week.
