Words
"THE ARTISTRY is a celebration of Australia's unique identity as a melting pot of multicultures.
By combining creativity, innovation and culture, we create festival series throughout the year that bring people together to embrace and honour our shared diversity. THE ARTISTRY is a catalyst for meaningful connections, cultural exchange, international exposure and unforgettable moments."
- Yudi Loefti
CEO & Festival Director of THE ARTISTRY
"The Artistry’s heady blend of arts, food and spectacle comes to Melbourne in August. Warming our winter streets, this international festival is proudly supported by City of Melbourne.
We know that Queen Victoria Market is one of the city’s most popular destinations and The Artistry’s big weekend offers yet another reason to visit. Melbourne is proudly one of the world’s most creative cities. The Artistry’s live performances span many cultures, and we are uplifted by many voices. I wish all participants an exciting Artistry festival for 2025."
- Nicholas Reece
The Lord Mayor of The City of Melbourne
