ABOUT
a celebration of arts, culture & community, every first thursday.
the melville art mile is a monthly first thursday evening event that activates our galleries,
markets, and creative spaces along 4th avenue, 7th street, main road and bamboo lifestyle centre, creating
a walking route of art, music, workshops, markets, and immersive experiences.
august ’26 is ladies first.
girls, shoot your shot. are you a world-renowned artist looking to test pieces from a new exhibition? do you want to connect with real art lovers? or are you a caterpillar in a cocoon, ready to spread your wings?
