Laundry Day

Slow down with FCMG as we take a breath, inhaling the scent of fresh laundry, plucked from the drier, or the line while still warm from the heat of the fading sun. Laundry Day is an invitation to celebrate this often-overlooked act of labour, care and continual maintenance.

Join us for a day of art, markets, poetry readings, workshops and more.

Market Stalls (12:00pm - 3:00pm)

Pizza with the Artist with James Nguyen (12:00pm-1:30pm)

Join us for an artist led printmaking workshop, followed by an artist talk and pizza lunch with James where he will share key inspirations behind his exhibition SÔNG SỐNG SONG.

This is a ticketed workshop with limited numbers, book your place to avoid disappointment.

Peg Doll Portraits with FCMG (12:00pm - 3:00pm)

Take a seat in this drop in workshop for kids of all ages, creating peg dolls inspired by your favourite people. Reimagine your closest friends, family members, movie characters and artists as delightful miniature dolls!

Make a Stitch with Wai Han Lee (12:00pm - 3:00pm)

Bring your preloved garments and textile items to our Mending Station and give them a new life through the visible mending. Explore simple hand-stitching techniques to repair and personalise your items.
