It was fantastic to see so many of you join us for an inspiring artist talk with local artist Christopher Pyett with our senior curator, Suzette Wearne.

With six decades of artistic practice behind him, Christopher shared a wonderful wealth of knowledge and generously gave us an insight into his creative journey, his approach to colour and the stories behind his exhibition, Years of Colour.

A big thank you to Christopher for sharing his experience and insights, and to everyone who came along and helped make the afternoon such a wonderful conversation.

If you haven’t yet visited Christopher Pyett: Years of Colour, there’s still time! The exhibition is on display at McClelland until 25 October.

What might look like an ordinary building or forgotten corner of a street becomes something much more intriguing through Alison Tedesco’s eyes. From her Frankston studio, she transforms these everyday places into detailed miniatures.

Earlier this year, we had the privilege of visiting Alison in her studio, where we were able to see works in progress and experience firsthand how the tiniest details gradually come together to create her incredibly detailed scenes.

Alison’s fascination with the stories held within buildings, streets and the traces of lives lived there is at the heart of Alison Tedesco: Street Stories.

Come and see the finished works for yourself at McClelland until 25 October.
