The Secret Sculpture Garden at Melbourne Hall this summer
August 1st – September 20th, 2026
The secret is out… we are proud to share that Creative Melbourne’ Secret Sculpture Garden is now open in The Gardens at Melbourne Hall.
After months of planning we have partnered with Creative Melbourne to present an exhibition featuring 36 pieces by regional artists as part of the celebrations for Melbourne Festival “coming of age” with their 21st Festival in September.
The centrepiece of the Secret Sculpture Garden is SHARED LINES a stunning piece in steel & glass created by Stevie Davies who took her inspiration from the work of 20th Century Artist & Sculptor Ronald Pope who lived and worked in Melbourne for many years.
The piece is funded by a National Lottery Project Grant awarded by Arts Council England, the metal fabrication was carried out by, Melbourne based, Acres Creative Engineering Solutions and the 12 coloured fused glass panels were made by volunteers from Creative Melbourne making it very firmly embedded in Melbourne!
The Secret Sculpture Garden is now open to the public until Melbourne Festival on 19 & 20 September. and the exhibiting artists Stephen Baillie, Rachel Carter, Ross Danby, Jenny Marshall, Ian Patrick Palmer, Nita Rao, David Turner, Duncan Thurlby and Matthew Warburton will all be exhibiting at the Festival.
