The Melbourne Fringe Artist Learning Lab is a full day of workshops, panel discussions and industry conversations designed for artists who are serious about their practice, whatever stage they’re at.
Beginners, mid-career, and experienced artists and producers (or whatever other hat you may wear) are all invited, and with three different streams running simultaneously across Arts Centre Melbourne, you can choose where you need to be.
Budgeting. Marketing. Pitching. Touring. Embedding access. Audience participation. Workshops delivered by experts from across the independent arts industry, all in one building, all in one day. Dip in and out, bounce between spaces, or plant yourself in one stream and dive deep. Then, stick around from 6:00pm for social drinks and a chance to network with industry peers and other artists.
This is everything you wished someone had told you about being an independent arts practitioner, in one building, across one day.
Please note: This is event is FREE for artists participating in the 2026 Melbourne Fringe Festival. However, anyone is welcome to purchase a ticket and attend. Full program details will be shared closer to the event date.
