The Dandenong Ranges Open Studios will be accepting applications for participating studios throughout September.

The open weekends are held in autumn each year, showcasing the talented artists of the Dandenong Ranges in full autumnal bloom.

The desired outcomes of the program are to;

● Support emerging and established artists and arts businesses in the region
● Encourage creativity
● Connect the local and wider communities with the arts and artists
● Increased profile of artists within the region
