Participants will join enrolled students for exclusive guided access to all aspects of the Castlemaine State Festival visual arts program curated by La Trobe Art Institute. Artists, curators and academics will lead discussions as we tour the multitude of venues occupied by visual arts.
LAI has developed a visual arts program that not only celebrates the aesthetic and material quality of the artwork, but one which acts as a space for the generation and sharing of cultural knowledge. This ambitious program brings together leading Australian and International contemporary artists that embrace the potential of creative practice as a mode of research. Thus, the display of their artwork can been seen as a single component their broader creative output, with conversation, critical engagement and cultural learning of equal import.
