SURFACITY street art workshops will give you hands-on experience of urban creative practice with two leading artists and researchers from the University of Melbourne.

Draw, stitch, spray, print, paste and contribute to the evolving artwork on display at MPavilion Parkville. Explore how the public surfaces of our city act as visual repositories of urban character, identity and culture through conversation and practice.

What you need: Wear closed toe shoes and clothing you don’t mind getting messy. We do provide aprons, but sometimes a blob of ink or paint goes astray. 

Cost: Free. Book now to secure your spot.

Session times:

Tuesday 7 October, 12–1 pm
Wednesday 8 October, 12–1 pm
Thursday 9 October, 12–1 pm
