Opening 2pm, Sunday July 13
Location: Cato Gallery & Mackley Members' Room
The original, iconic exhibition was organised by VAS founding artists Arthur Streeton, Tom Roberts and Charles Condor, who painter their en plein air studies on cigar boxes 9 by 5 inches in size.
Now one of the most popular events in the Victorian Artists Society calendar, this exhibition offers an opportunity for artists to reinterpret the iconic 9x5 format. Ranging from traditional to quirky, these works limited only by size and imagination create a spectacular display.
VAS is very pleased to announce an additional element to this year’s 9 x 5 exhibition. A display of painted wooden cigar boxes. Painted by you that is!
