Autumn Goings On at MREAM

Over the past month MREAM Gallery has played host to not one ...but TWO exhibitions!

The FEMS crew put on a grand opening for the launch of their FEMS Zine.
The accompanying exhibition included works by several artists whose work featured in the first edition of the zine and it was fantastic to see so many new young faces in the space.

The FEMS Exhibition featured an interactive artwork which invited viewers to tear a page from an old thesaurus and create a work of art on the page - inspired by text thereon

To conclude the month of March "Unframed Untamed" took place in the MREAM gallery.  The show featured a collection of unframed works by members of MREAM - spanning sculpture, installation, textile art, oil and watercolour painting, printmaking, photo collage and drawing. Several artworks were sold on the evening and a generous spread was devoured by those in attendance at the opening.

Congratulations and many thanks are owed to Vonne for her efforts in co-ordinating both shows in the MREAM Gallery.  Much gratitude is also owed to Vonne's team of helpers!

FEM Zine Launch & Exhibition

This weekend MREAM Studios & Gallery will play host to its first ever zine launch!



Organised by MREAM Artist, Vonne Beyer, the "FEMS" zine launch and exhibition will open this Saturday evening at 5.00pm at MREAM Studios & Gallery, 32 Hampstead Road, Maidstone VIC 3012.  Thereafter, the exhibition will run for one week (3-6pm daily) until Saturday 21st March.

"FEMS" stands for Females for Equality Making Stuff and is a zine made by women, about women and for women.

All are invited to attend the opening!

For the uneducated, "zine" is a term used to describe an independent (maga)zine or publication with a much smaller print run and alternative content including stories, poems, articles, artwork and photography.  Zines are a refreshing change from mainstream print media!

Thank you to the hard-working graf crew and also to our artist in residence,
