Exhibition Prep Workshop
3.00pm Sunday 11 Feb
Join Burrinja curator JD Mittman in this 60 minute workshop in tips, tricks and what not to do when preparing for an exhibition.
JD has installed, curated and toured a total of over 200 exhibitions big and small. He knows a thing or two about it. He is Burrinja’s curator and collections manager, and he is generously offering his time on a Sunday afternoon to share some insights of his long career. You should attend. It will be fun.
This is a perfect workshop for anyone participating in The Dandenong Ranges Opens Studios or the Creative Showcase Exhibition
