Golden Plains Shire Council is excited to announce that it is now accepting Expressions of Interest (EOI) for the 2025 Golden Spaces Winter Exhibition.
Golden Spaces is a free, community-based program offering group art exhibitions across three locations: The Bannockburn Cultural Centre, The Well at Smythesdale and the Golden Plains Civic Centre. This exciting initiative aims to celebrate and promote the talent of local artists, increase access to the arts for the community within a local setting, and provide professional development opportunities for both emerging and established artists within our Shire.
Golden Spaces officially launched on 1 June 2024 at the Bannockburn Cultural Centre, coinciding with the Winter Exhibition. The Summer Exhibition followed, with its launch at the Golden Plains Twilight Market on Thursday 19 December 2024.
This is the first opportunity to apply to exhibit at Golden Spaces in 2025, with EOIs for the Winter Exhibition open now for local artists and creative practitioners.
Golden Plains Shire Mayor Cr Sarah Hayden encourages all local artist to submit their EOI to exhibit at Golden Spaces.
