Artbank: Behind the Scenes
Description
Located in Collingwood, the heart of Victoria’s creative precinct, Artbank’s Melbourne office and showroom provides a space for client and sector engagement, collaboration and creativity under one roof.
Artbank worked with award-winning local architecture studio Edition Office to fit out the warehouse, designing a functional racking system to be viewed as a sculptural object central to the space.
What's On
Artbank will open up our collection store to the public for a special behind-the-scenes view of this incredible purpose-built collection space, usually only reserved for back-of-house staff.
Learn about the Artbank Collection, artist support program and art-leasing initiative, and explore over 1200 artworks collected across Artbank's 45 years of operation.
Pull out racks, peer into the sculpture store and wander through the visible storage space to discover new favourite artworks from this amazing collection of Australian contemporary art.
The Artbank team will be available to answer questions, show you through the collection and talk about how Artbank supports and promotes Australian contemporary art across the world and explain the simplicity of bringing part of the collection into your own space through its unique leasing program.
