Take the road out of Serpentine, turn down Longs Road, and there, almost like a mirage in the landscape, you’ll see the mighty East Loddon Woolshed. Constructed in 1871 from 100,000s of bricks handmade on the property by a father and son, this Vahland-designed ambitious building still functions as a shearing shed, but offers, too, a fabulous venue for weddings and events. So, for the very first time, Arts Trail heads to the Shed with Attitude. Sculptures that make a statement. Paintings that are direct responses to the unique vernacular of Australian buildings. Works of art that capture the eerie beauty and elusive meaning of places in the landscape. You can book a midday tour with owners Anthony and Emily, and the Bears Lagoon Serpentine Football Netball Club will be there around lunchtime each day for food and drink options. If you want to see how art transforms a space, and how a space welcomes art with surprising results, then make a date with the Shed with Attitude. Memories are made of this.

Chloe has selected a collection of her charcoal portraits, as well as artworks from the Baby Farmer book tour to display. The woolshed creates a raw and beautiful environment that compliments the particular aesthetic of the artworks.
