Join artist Minna Gilligan to explore the medium of collage. Beginning with a discussion on methods of sourcing material for collages, and ending with creating your own work, this workshop will take you through the A-Z of contemporary collage.

Minna Gilligan is an artist based in Melbourne (Naarm) Australia, working primarily with painting, drawing and collage.

Her practice speaks of fleeting, personal encounters with the past and present, and manifests in a tumultuous reconciliation of both. Her works are playgrounds of colour, often referencing 1960s/1970s psychedelia and evoking a 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.
