Summer Series: Craft + Spritz

Knock off on a Friday and head to HOTA Gallery this summer for adult artmaking with a twist. Enjoy after-hours access to Minna Gilligan: True Colours brought to life with a pop-up bar, drop-in artmaking sessions, live vinyl tunes and more! Browse Gritty Garms vintage clothes pop-up before taking part in a drop-in tie dye scarf or bandana making workshop. Bring your own compact, light-coloured cotton clothing items to dye or use the scarf fabric provided. We'll have polaroid picture collage and groovy badge making stations, while the DJ will be slinging tunes by the courtyard bar. Minna Gilligan is an artist based in Melbourne (Naarm), working primarily with painting, drawing and collage. Her practice speaks of fleeting, personal encounters with the past and present, and manifests in a riotous reconciliation of both. Her works are playgrounds of colour, often referencing 1960s/1970s psychedelia and evoking nostalgic romanticism. Gilligan’s work has been shown at many national and international institutions including the National Gallery of Australia, the National Gallery of Victoria, and Heide Museum of Modern Art. Gilligan has published four books and worked as an illustrator with clients such as Rookie magazine, Rachel Antonoff, Elle magazine (UK and Australia), Urban Outfitters, It’s Nice That, and many more.
