Posted on Friday 6th of May, 2016,

Each year SAM goes local across December and January, spotlighting the practice of local artists with three exhibitions; • SAM Local. Spotlight, • SAM Local. VCE Art and Studio Arts and • SAM Local. Best of Friends.

This initiative encourages, stimulates and promotes local and regional cultural activities as part of SAM’s annual program. It enables artists to experience working in a professional museum context. Exhibitions are programmed up to six months in advance.
