Open / Station invites you to an afternoon of new music, performance and visual arts culminating in the Neighbourhood festival closing night party.

Programmed from ground breaking work of artists and companies who have worked at The Substation as residents or guests, Open / Station will activate the entire building, including the parts that are usually hidden from view.

Explore experiments in performance, sound and projection as well as site-responsive works by Jo Lloyd, Australian Art Orchestra and more.

After dark, see the final showing of Michaela Gleave's Between Us, a collaborative poem translated into morse code and beamed into the night sky.

Then DJs curated by Studio Slur will lead us into a celebration of the ending of 18 days of art, performance and community at NEIGHBOURHOOD festival.

Open / Station is a curated spotlight on Melbourne's most exciting artists and companies, and their practice, who just so happen to call the West home.

This opportunity to showcase artists and bring the community together has been made possible by The Westgate Neighbourhood Fund, Hobson’s Bay City Council and the Restart Investment to Sustain and Expand (RISE) Fund.

This event is part of the Neighbourhood Festival, co-presented by Footscray Community Arts and The Substation.
