Who's here

We partner with local organisations to deliver innovative and inclusive arts opportunities for our communities.

Nimbus

Nimbus is an inclusive visual arts studio run by Arts Access Victoria. At Nimbus, artists develop their artistic skills in visual arts and expand their portfolio. Artists explore their individual arts practice within a group.

Each week during terms, the studio gathers in Bundoora Homestead Art Centre’s dedicated workshop space, The Mess, as well as Arts Access Victoria’s mobile and accessible art workshop, Nebula. Besides practical studio work, artists have access to gallery exhibitions and professional development opportunities. These vary from writing artist statements to preparing artworks for exhibition. Nimbus has recently presented in-person and online exhibitions, including:

  • Nimbostratus 2023, presented at Bundoora Homestead Art Centre (30 Sep 23 - 16 Dec 23).
