Boroondara Summer Salon – online exhibition

Town Hall Gallery is delighted to present the inaugural Boroondara Summer Salon, a curated group exhibition celebrating the creativity and diversity of the Boroondara community. 

Featuring local artists, this vibrant community exhibition features paintings, prints, sculptures, photography, Ikebana flower arrangements and more, showcasing the breadth of talent our community has to offer.

In celebration of the 10-year anniversary of the Town Hall Gallery Community Exhibitions Program, this eclectic presentation of nature, food, busy streets of Melbourne, wildlife, and abstract imagery, reveals the mediums, techniques and subject matter that provides inspiration to artists who live, work, or study in the area.

Visit the inaugural Boroondara Summer Salon throughout the summertime to see what local Boroondara creatives have to share.
