Good News For You returns to Art Week after making its debut last year and will once again be held in the historic setting of The Strand Arcade as part of The Midtown Street Art Festival. 

For the month of October, exhibitions will be held by Nicholas Pound, Melanie Stapleton, Cameron Hunt and a group exhibition featuring Berst, Fluro, Gary Silipa, Haunt, James Hunt and Reks.  These will be part of Late Night Art on 10 Oct 5-9 PM which will also include an Opening Event and Artist Talk with Cameron Hunt.

Check out the incredible line up of artists: 

Nicholas Pound | Shop 21, 04 OCT- 29 OCT

Nicholas Pound shares the meaning of his work, Arrière-garde. Come view a selection of little boat like art works, created from salvaged materials. The Strand Arcade offers a unique setting to take in this work, becoming part of a bigger analogy, asking viewers to question materialism and formation of the works.

Melanie Stapelton | Shop 9, 04 OCT- 14 OCT

With over two decades of experience as an influential florist, Melanie explores deep ecology and making in collaboration with the natural world through public workshops, Ikebana displays, and ephemeral daily works. Dynamic and as powerful as nature itself, these works pack a punch in this Art Week line up.

Cameron Hunt | Shop 18, 04 OCT- 21 OCT

This artist's adventurist and interventionist being brings a playful practice to Art Week with the presentation of work both inside and outside the show and features 'Traces of Spaces', an installation project featuring projected graffiti in the historic Strand Arcade with the Opening Event on Late Night Art from 6-8pm.

Join Cameron for Artist Talk on Late Night Art from 5-6pm as he discusses his work with Ross Liew.  His playful installations ask questions of public space as a place to initiate discourse around issues both meaningful and frivolous.
