Have you got work sitting on your studio floor? Half finished, overworked, or somewhere in between? Bring it in.

Show-And-Tell Lab with contemporary artist Kay Abude is an open-studio critique session where you show your work to other artists, talk through it, and get fresh eyes on it. It's a high-energy session! Fast, focused, and genuinely useful. No stiff critique panels - just a room full of artists thinking out loud together.

Part critique, and part idea lab, learn how to speak about your work without overthinking it. See how other artists approach challenges, materials and ideas, and walk away with new directions for your work.

When: Saturday 5 September 2026
Time: 10am to 4pm
Where: Maroondah Federation Estate, 32 Greenwood Avenue, Ringwood
Cost with lunch: Full $45 | Concession $35 | Hardship $20
