The Dandenong Ranges Open Studios Weekend features an eclectic range of artists and media against the backdrop of one of Melbourne's most beautiful and popular tourism destinations

The Open Studios weekend, featuring around 30 local hills studio locations, is one of the most anticipated events for the region's cultural calendar, attracting art minded visitors and tourists since 2004. Featuring Hills artists working across a range of mediums – as varied as painters, potters, wood carvers, digital artists and didgeridoo makers – the Dandenong Ranges Open Studios program provides a unique insight into our artists' work environments as well as their art.

Coinciding with the Open Studios weekend is the annual OPEN STUDIOS EXHIBITION at Burrinja Gallery. This exhibition is a unique opportunity to see and experience work from each of the artists in one gallery, making Burrinja a great place to start the Open Studios Weekend tour.

The next Open Studios weekend will be 26th and 27th May 2012.
