A weekend of art, colour and community
ART FOR ALL brings together student makers, local creatives and collectable Melbourne artists for a free weekend of exhibitions, markets, music and family fun.
28–30 August 2026
Fairfield Primary School
ART FOR ALL is where art bursts beyond the classroom — a weekend to make, discover, and collect.
Since 1997, it’s brought together young makers, local legends, and collectable Melbourne artists in a playground of creativity. Now featuring renowned Melbourne artists, it remains a free, open-entry community show. Held over one weekend, it celebrates visual and performing arts, and showcases the creativity of our students.
