Presented by Possible Worlds x Spins & Needles, Object // Project is a micro art and music fair, combining an exhibition, shop, music performances, and workshops.
This year-end event champions the work of progressive, emerging and diverse artists who are contributing to a renewed graphic and sound aesthetic in the city. For lovers of all that is DIY, independently created and self-published.
On our gallery walls and in shop, find a curated selection of unique pieces for sale, installed for the event: art prints, illustrations, collage, photography, ceramics, zines, artist books, t-shirts, pins, cassettes and records. Music performances on opening night and as part of our Not Normal series will feature electronic and experimental live sets. Artist-run graphic art and print workshops will take place on weekends.
Come through and discover new objects, projects and performances that play with text, image and sound. Pick up some new and affordable art work and music for your own collection or as holiday gifts.
