THE WEEKEND
30+31 JULY

#OpenHouseMelb2022

Melbourne’s most intriguing and inspiring venues are opening their doors to the public to experience in-person for the first time since 2019! The Weekend 2022 is one of the largest programs in Open House Melbourne’s history and the first in-person OHM Weekend in three years. 

Along with a huge program full to the brim of tours, talks and buildings, this year a special new addition turns the city into a living exhibition space. Take Hold of the Clouds is a curated exhibition featuring two key works by renowned international contributors along with six, newly commissioned, responsive works from local and national creative practitioners. Embedding the works within Melbourne’s most treasured architectural spaces, rather than a traditional gallery, the exhibition models best practices for high-impact yet sustainable and resource-sensitive exhibition-making.

Discover the full program below!
