Creative visions of the west

Unique perspectives of the west will be on show as part of the RedWest Creatives Co-Op’s first art show after re-emerging from the COVID-19 pandemic.

The ‘HOME West’ art show will run from Friday, June 8 until Thursday, July 28 at 5 Sargood Street in Altona.

RedWest Creatives Co-Op president Paul Zahra said the show will feature works across a number of mediums from about 40 local artists, including sculpture, painting and digital illustrations.

“This will be our first non COVID-impacted show and we are really looking to reconnect the community once again,” he said.

“We will definitely have a creative melting pot of nature, culture and all round diversity on full display.

“‘HOME West’ exclusively features RedWest members showcasing a vast array of artworks from the talented western suburbs of Melbourne.”

The art show will launch at the Louis Joel Arts and Community Centre at 5 Sargood Street in Altona on Friday, June 8 from 7pm.

The exhibition will be open from 9am to 5pm on weekdays, from 11am until 3pm on Saturdays and from 9am until 5pm on Sundays.

The RedWest Creatives Co-op is a creative co-operative operating in Melbourne’s west whose mission is to strengthen the arts sector.

RedWest works to secure a variety of opportunities such as pop-up exhibitions and performances, events for artists, and by providing services to local artists for its members.
