A long running and much-loved edition to the City of Whittlesea's arts and cultural program, the 2023 Annual Art Exhibition sought submissions which responded to the theme The Webs we Weave. This spoke to the interplay of local and personal connections, cultural influences, and the diverse manifestations of these networks.
For some, this theme resonated with the interplay of local and personal connections and the impact of cultural influences on our lives. Others have delved into the tangible and intangible threads that bind us together, weaving a profound narrative through their art.
Each artwork is a unique interpretation and exploration of the theme, reflecting the diverse and imaginative mediums used by our talented artists.
