All Together Now is an art exhibit that celebrates local art, bringing together 21 out of the 27 artists who took part in the successful Campaspe Studio Arts Trail earlier this year for an exhibit showing the best of the best.
Running from Saturday, August 16, to October 11, those who missed out on the trail will have the chance to get a sneak peek at some local art.

Event organiser Dey Alexander said with the studio trail such a success, the artists themselves said they didn’t get a chance to see each other’s studios, so they collectively thought: why not do a joint exhibition?
The exhibition will be having an official opening on Saturday, August 16, when the artists will be able to meet, mingle and chat about their work with visitors and other artists.
“Anyone who wants to ask any questions about their work, they’ll be able to do that – which was the whole point behind the studio trail, to open up the spaces where art is created so people could see what actually goes on,” Ms Alexander said.
“It’s all about trying to bring the audience closer to the artwork and the artists.”

The exhibition will have more than just paintings, with genres of art on display varying from textiles to ceramics, sculptures and even fibre work.
Ms Alexander said she hoped visitors would be able to indulge in what Campaspe artists had to offer and maybe even walk away with a piece or two.
“We’re just hoping to grow a bit more interest in the work of local artists because there is so much talent in Campaspe,” Ms Alexander said.
She also said following the success of this year’s Campaspe Studio Arts Trail, a second iteration would be held, with dates locked in for the weekend of May 2 to 3, 2026.
Ms Alexander said artists interested in taking part in next year’s studio trail could email her atinfo@castrail.art
The official opening for All Together Now will begin at 2pm on Saturday, August 16, with all welcome to attend.
