Melbourne’s love affair with visual arts has been a long and illustrious one, and this year we pay homage to the romance with a full day of exhibitions, performances and talks.

On the final day of the Festival, galleries across the city will open up with additional public programs and talks to give you insight into the exhibitions that make up the 2017 program.
