Pig Melon
A volunteer-run studio, gallery and project space in Boorloo Perth, WA.
Pig Melon aims to provide a safe, welcoming, and well-resourced environment for emerging and mid-career artists that enables the exploration and exchange of ideas, knowledge and skill. Above all, Pig Melon aims to provide a nurturing and empowering experience for artists, audiences and facilitators.
In December 2023 Pig Melon closed its doors and is no longer in operation - sorry!
Luisa Hansal and Leigh Craft established Pig Melon in 2019. During its four years in operation Pig Melon proudly presented 67 exhibitions and events featuring over 191 artists. Luisa and Leigh extend their sincere gratitude to all the artists and volunteers that contributed – we are truly grateful and blessed to be a part of such a generous, respectful and loving community.
