Exhibition Program Applications 2026

Limited time slots available - Applications and Submissions 

The Melton Arts Exhibition Program 2026 is a visual arts program designed to build artists skills in developing exhibitions in the City of Melton. It provides opportunities for locally connected artists, emerging artists, curators and artist groups to display collections in prominent exhibition venues without paying hire fees, and with access to mentoring, support and advice from the Melton City Council’s Arts Team.

We welcome applications from exhibitors particularly those who can demonstrate a committed arts practice, and who seek to explore a well-considered concept that is relevant and/or connected to our community. While our arts venues are mostly suited to two-dimensional work, we also welcome a limited number of other exhibition formats, including digital, 2D work, wall installations and more.

We are currently seeking applications for exhibitions that can be developed and delivered between February 2026 - and February 2027, in Melton City Council’s community exhibition venues.
