2020 VENUE
What is now historically recognised as one the most important institutional complexes constructed in Victoria in the 19th Century the Abbotsford Convent became a community art and cultural centre at the turn of the 21st century.
Now a unique place with a rare fusion of old and new, the Abbotsford Convent’s 19th century landscape is filled with artists’ studios, cafes and bars, galleries, and markets.
From intimate to grand, industrial to opulent, the Convent’s spaces are historically fascinating, with views of the river, heritage gardens and only 4km from Melbourne’s CBD.
