Melbourne Art Foundation presents an Education Program at the Melbourne Art Fair to facilitate public discussion and develop new audiences for contemporary art. Melbourne Art Foundation's 2010 Education Program incorporated the following key initiatives: the Richard Larter Education Space, Lectures, Art Forums and 10.00am Sessions, Project Rooms, Art Tours and Events, Publications and our Collector and Invited Guests Program.
Richard Larter Education Space
Melbourne Art Foundation presented a unique Education Space for Melbourne Art Fair 2010. Figurative and abstract works by a leading Australian artist Richard Larter were wallpapered onto the walls of the Richard Larter Education Space, and emerging and senior Australian artists facilitated audience responses to the works.
The Richard Larter Education Space provided a fun and active learning space and a significant opportunity to engage directly with, and learn from, practising artists. Everyone was welcome to participate, from children to adults.
Artist Lisa Radford and others helped to inspire participants to make thier mark!
Melbourne Art Foundation is grateful for support from the following Education Space Supporters:
Eckersley's Arts & Craft, The Margaret Lawrence Bequest, managed by Perpetual, Niagara Galleries, and Watters Gallery.
Lecture and Forum Program
Melbourne Art Foundation also presents a Lecture and Forum Program during the week of the Melbourne Art Fair to promote education, discussion and interest in contemporary art. The Lecture and Forum Program has become an essential component of the Melbourne Art Fair attracting artists, curators, art students and gallerists, as well as interested members of the public.
