Lo-Fi Collective

Bob of The Opening Hours — Fri, 13 Aug 2010 00:13:52 +0000

One of the most exciting art galleries/project spaces in Sydney is about to open, and we are super stoked to be on board as a supporter. Introducing Lo-Fi Collective.

LO-FI Collective is a week-to-week showcase of Australia’s leading low brow artists, designers and photographers. The 6 month initiative is a rare move to support this exceptional home-grown art movement. LO-FI Collective is part gallery and part studio featuring a selection of resident artists to both produce and exhibit weekly in the space, and has been provided at no cost or commission to the artists.

Be sure to keep updated through the blog as these future exhibitions at Lo-Fi are promising to be amazing. Some of the future shows include Meggs, TwoOne, Numskull, Beastman, Go Font Ur Self* and many many more to be confirmed. Stay tuned.
