I had the pleasure to attend the exhibition opening at Burrinja on Friday 5 April 2013.
The show features work from each of the 35 participating studios. This year's exhibition theme is "Tension".
Rod Quantock (comedian, artist, activist) who is the Ambassador for Dandenong Ranges Open Studios 2013, opened the event.
Councillor Samantha Dunn, Yarra Ranges Council, also spoke.
