The preeminent Melbourne Art Week event, Spring1883, is returning to The Hotel Windsor for its fifth year in a row, to celebrate the best contemporary art from Australia, New Zealand and the USA. The forward-thinking event taps into the growing trend and desire for art exhibited in a more intimate or experiential environment - unlike the traditional 'white-cube’ exhibition format, the 24 galleries participating in the four-day event will each take over a suite inside the iconic venue.

Participation is free and open to the public, from artists, collectors and gallery owners, to individuals beginning their personal art journey, the diverse audience and domestic space allows for an organic evolution of shared conversation and conceptual concerns to be discussed freely and expressed in a warm and welcoming setting. The Hotel Windsor will host Spring1883 from August 1-4.
