Share it in person,
not just online.


Creative work has never been easier to share, but most of that sharing now happens through a screen. Gather is our way of doing things a little differently.

An opportunity to bring creative work off the feed and into the room. To discover new artists, meet the people behind the work and take something home.

Following our first edition, Gather 02 brings together an exhibition, live auction and music for one night in Melbourne.

No endless scrolling required.

What is actually happening?

THE EXHIBITION

Around 30 works from emerging and established creatives, all exploring the theme of Gather in their own way. Photography, paintings, prints, objects, written pieces and everything in between.

THE LIVE AUCTION

Every exhibited work will have its moment under the hammer. Find something you love, place a bid and take home a piece of someone's creative world. 100% of artwork sale proceeds go directly to the artists. Together at Last takes no commission.

THE MUSIC

Good music, good people and a reason to spend a Friday night somewhere other than your phone. Come for the art. Stay for a while.

Get your work in front of people.

Not just likes, saves and shares. Real people, in a real room, spending time with something you've made.

Meet your creative community.

Connect with fellow artists, makers and people who are interested in what you're doing.

Every selected work will go into the live auction, with the full artwork sale amount paid directly to the artist. Together at Last doesn't take a commission. Buyers will arrange payment directly with artists, with our team helping coordinate the process.

Take home 100% of your sale.

Be part of the story.

We'll be documenting the exhibition and sharing the work and artists involved across our Gather and Together at Last channels.

The Theme:

Gather

Make of that what you will.

People, places, objects, rituals, memories, metaphors. Whatever gather means to you.

It might be something you've made specifically for the theme, or something you've already created that feels right.

We're interested in different interpretations, unexpected ideas and work that starts a conversation. There isn't one right way to approach it.

Got something to share?

We're opening up submissions for Gather 02.

Whether you're an established artist, just starting out, or someone who makes things in their spare time, we'd love to see what you've been working on.

We're selecting around 30 works for a one-night exhibition and live auction. Any medium. Any experience level. New work is encouraged, but old favourites are welcome too.

SUBMISSIONS CLOSE THURSDAY 26 NOVEMBER.

Good to Know: FAQ

  • Not at all. Gather is open to artists, makers and creatives at every stage. We're more interested in the work and the ideas behind it than your CV.

  • Absolutely. New work is encouraged, but existing pieces are welcome if they connect with the theme.

  • We're asking for one artwork per artist so we can make space for as many different creatives as possible.

  • No. There is no submission or participation fee, and Together at Last won't take a commission on artwork sales.

  • Yes! Entry is free, but RSVP is required as capacity is limited.

  • Of course. You're welcome to enjoy the evening without bidding on anything.

  • Absolutely. You can register for yourself and one guest through the RSVP form, subject to availability.

  • Yes. The live auction is part of the Gather 02 format, so selected artworks need to be available for sale.

  • It remains yours. We'll arrange for you to collect it following the event.

  • Successful bidders will be introduced to the artist and arrange payment directly with them. Together at Last will coordinate the process but won't collect, hold or distribute artwork payments. Artists are responsible for their own invoicing and applicable tax obligations, including GST where relevant. The payment and collection process will be confirmed with selected artists before the event.

  • You'll propose a reserve price as part of your submission, which we'll discuss and agree on before the auction if your work is selected. Your work won't be sold below the agreed reserve without your approval.

  • GST-registered artists are welcome to participate. Any applicable GST will need to be accounted for in the agreed auction pricing, and artists will be responsible for issuing appropriate tax invoices where required.

  • Together at Last will review submissions based on their creative approach, connection to the theme and suitability for the exhibition. We expect to select around 30 works.

  • Submissions close on Thursday 26 November. Selected artists will be contacted as soon as possible following the deadline.
