Art & Design Week at Monash

Melbourne's Monash University is hosting its first ever Art & Design Week from the 2nd-6th August, directly following the uni's 'official' Open Day on August 1. 

At A&D Week you'll find a student market, internet cafe, nightly art and design related films, daily career pathways talks from successful graduates, screenprinting card swap-meet and even an 8 tonne truck from Sydney's Grant Pirrie gallery exhibiting the work of artist Mel O'Callaghan. 

Registration for all speaker sessions is essential (and free) using the registration page. 

Don't miss your chance to see this buzzing Faculty in all its glory!

Updates over There

It seems like the very talented people at There (disclosure, I'm one of them) suddenly remembered they have a blog. A batch of fantastic recent work has been uploaded and from what I've been seeing, there's a fair bit more of it to come.
