We’re excited to host multidisciplinary artist Rachel Burke for a drop-in wearable artmaking workshop. Browse our mini vintage clothes pop-up before trying your hand at the polaroid picture collage station, and groovy badge making. Meanwhile DJ Mattymadeit will be slinging tunes by the courtyard bar.

Minna Gilligan

Minna Gilligan – Artist

Minna Gilligan is an artist based in Melbourne (Naarm), working primarily with painting, drawing and collage. Her practice speaks of fleeting, personal encounters with the past and present, and manifests in a riotous reconciliation of both. Her works are playgrounds of colour, often referencing 1960s/1970s psychedelia and evoking nostalgic romanticism. Gilligan’s work has been shown at many national and international institutions including the National Gallery of Australia, the National Gallery of Victoria, and Heide Museum of Modern Art. Gilligan has published four books and worked as an illustrator with clients such as Rookie magazine, Rachel Antonoff, Elle magazine (UK and Australia), Urban Outfitters, It’s Nice That, and many more.
