Castlemaine Fringe
2024 Art Auction

A massive thank you to all the artists, volunteers, Shedshaker staff and people that came from far and wide to once again make our Art Auction a huge success. 50% of the sale of artworks goes directly towards funding the 2025 Castlemaine Fringe Festival.

​

If you missed out on the night, you can still browse the works that went under the hammer. You will also have the opportunity to buy work directly from many of the local artists when they open up their studios over two weekends as part of the Castlemaine Fringe Festival Arts Trail.

Castlemaine Fringe is returning in 2025, celebrating community and creativity throughout the streets and buildings of Castlemaine. Our biennial festival offers diverse cultural and artistic experiences, supporting musicians, performers, and artists. The festival aims to enhance community wellbeing with activities like music, theatre, comedy, workshops, film & literature and exhibitions & open studios in various locations.

 

Donations support operating costs, the free Opening Night Street Party, and the continuation of Fringe, ensuring it remains fun, inclusive, accessible and affordable for everyone. All donations made to Fringe via the Australian Cultural Fund are tax-deductible.
