As someone who loves exploring new places and discovering hidden gems, I was thrilled to learn about the free exhibition currently on display at the National Gallery of Victoria (NGV). Titled Melbourne Now, the exhibition showcases more than 200 Victorian-based artists, designers, studios and firms whose practices are shaping the cultural landscape in Victoria. 

Have you ever been to an art exhibition that left you feeling inspired and awestruck? That's exactly how I felt after visiting Melbourne Now. The exhibition showcases the work of artists across a range of mediums, including painting, sculpture, photography, and more. If you're wondering what else makes this exhibition so special, it's the fact that it's completely free. That's right, you can explore some of the most spectacular art pieces without spending a single penny.

The Melbourne Now exhibition presents a diverse range of art forms, including painting, drawing, sculpture, fashion, textiles, installations, jewellery, photography, moving image, design, and architecture. From the captivating brushstrokes of paintings to the three-dimensional expressions of sculptures, the exhibition showcases the depth and breadth of artistic talent. Fashion and textiles blend art and style, while installations challenge perceptions and engage with space. Intricate jewellery pieces highlight craftsmanship, and photography captures memorable moments. Moving image artworks tell stories through motion, and design showcases the fusion of aesthetics and functionality. The exhibition also recognizes the impact of architecture on the cityscape. With these varied art forms, Melbourne Now offers a vibrant exploration of creativity and artistic expression.

Overall, this exhibition is a testament to Melbourne's thriving art scene. It's a must-see for anyone who wants to discover the diverse and creative side of Melbourne. If you're looking for a fun and inspiring way to spend an afternoon, I highly recommend checking out this exhibition at the NGV.
