Our visual arts program includes diverse exhibition and public art programs, and our art and heritage collection. We also work closely with Yarra's galleries and artist run spaces.

We are committed to giving exhibiting opportunities to artists, and inspiring visual art encounters for all.

Exhibitions are programmed to run for between one and six months, depending on the space. A fee is paid to successful applicants to contribute to development and presentation costs.

You may submit one exhibition application for each of the five locations. We do one call-out each year for the program.

Expression of interest

We encourage innovative and engaging exhibition proposals through our annual Expression of Interest call-outs at:

• Bargoonga Nganjin North Fitzroy
• Fitzroy Library
• Richmond Library
• Richmond Town Hall
• Carlton Library - outdoor light boxes.

Artists, organisations and groups can apply to exhibit annually. For more information, see our opportunities.
