Community Event
Join them at the Drum Theatre for the official opening of 9 by 5.
Discover the creativity of local and national artists at the 9 by 5 Exhibition, returning for its 18th iteration in 2026.
This modern take on the iconic 1889 Melbourne exhibition reimagines the tradition of creating art on nine by five-inch cigar box lids, as pioneered by Australian artists Tom Roberts, Charles Conder, Arthur Streeton, and Frederick McCubbin.
Arts in Greater Dandenong's nationally celebrated interpretation showcases the incredible diversity of the arts community, demonstrating how small-scale works can deliver a profound impact.
Featuring a vibrant mix of painting, photography, and more, this exhibition invites artists of all experience levels to present their unique vision, each confined to the compact dimensions of 9 x 5 inches (22.86 centrimetres by 12.7 centimetres).
With every piece available for purchase, it's a rare opportunity to own a miniature masterpiece. Come celebrate the boundless creativity that brings each brushstroke and captured moment to life.
