Punctum Inc is proud to present NEXT ON NOW, a new arts initiative supporting emerging contemporary artists in Central Victoria.

Over the past 6 months, Next on Now has provided participants with support, resources and workshops together with professional mentoring by practicing artists. The results are an extraordinarily diverse collection of professional artistic works which explore themes of love, death, childhood, sex, identity and public / personal space.

The Art Blast features eight installations with works by artists Leonie Kelsall, Kelly Robson, Tom Pender, Christine Sayer, Katie Sfetkidis, Isobelle Sirianni, Amy Turton and Rick Whateley.  You can meet the artists and learn more about their journey at the Next on Now Art Blast launch on Tuesday 7th February, 5pm – 6.30pm at El Gordo Café, Chancery Land Bendigo.

The Art Blast opens on Friday 24th February from 6pm-8pm upstairs at Viewpoint Gallery, 13 View Point, Bendigo and runs through Saturday and Sunday. A weekend pass to the Art Blast costs $10 and provides you with a program containing locations map, cultural notes and admission to all installations and performances.
