2013: time to enjoy great events in the arts calendar

New York tours, spaces

15 January 2013

Melbourne's art world is slowly coming back from the holidays, and there are great events in the 2013 calendar:

Local

• The Midsumma festival takes over most of our art spaces in the first few weeks of the year, from 13 January to 3 February.
• The Substation, Craft Victoria, Edmund Pearce Gallery and Chapter House Lane all reopen on Thursday 17 January.
  
• On Friday 1 February Tinning Street Gallery, in Brunswick, reopens with a great drawing show titled Your Old Self (from 6pm to 9pm).
• Also, the White Night Melbourne festival is coming! On Saturday 23 February, from 7pm to 7am, the state government will open up the city for a dusk-to-dawn festival of art, culture, film, fashion and sport. Melbourne will effectively become a 24-hour town.

International

• ART Basel Hong Kong between 23 and 26 May.
• walk-to-art New York, now in its 5th year, from 25 May to 2 June.
• The second edition of walk-to-art Venice, between 14 and 20 October, takes you to Italy's La Biennale di Venezia. SBS is airing a series about Venice 24/7 and last week's episode was about the Biennale (you can watch the program online until 24 January).

See you around the galleries and in our tours!
