We’re excited to announce that MCC will once again be participating in Open House Melbourne, with our building open to the public during the OHM weekend in late July.

This year’s photography exhibition will align with the official Open House Melbourne theme:

• ‘Stories of the City’ – illuminate and explore the layers of urban life through stories of architecture, culture and community.

This is a fantastic opportunity to showcase your work to a broader audience and be part of a city-wide celebration of Melbourne’s built environment and urban stories.

Get Involved – there are many ways to approach this theme:

• Team up with fellow members to photograph a particular building, street or neighbourhood

• Tell a story through a series of 2–3 prints or a triptych

Key Info

• You may submit up to 3 printed and mounted images
• Sunday 6 July: entries close
• Thursday 10 July: 7-8pm Print Drop off
• Friday 18 July: Exhibition Opening
• Sat/Sun 19-20 July: Exhibition open 11am-3pm
• Sat/Sun 26-27 July: Exhibition open 11am-3pm (Open House Weekend)

We look forward to seeing your take on the ‘Stories of the City’ – whether it’s hidden histories, modern moments, or the people and places that shape our urban landscape.

Auto-Photo A Life in Portraits is a Centre for Contemporary Photography (CCP) exhibition, presented in partnership with RMIT Culture. 

Auto Photo: A Life in Portraits is a distinctly Australian story, centred on the figure of Alan Adler. Adler, while little known, is likely the most photographed man in Australia and is also the oldest and longest serving photobooth technician in the world. For over 50 years, Adler has been maintaining a suite of photobooths across Melbourne/Narrm, most notably, the site near Flinders Street Station. His story reflects the local communities and a shared dedication and passion for image-making and creative expression.  

• Official opening: Thursday 5 June 6pm-8pm
• Exhibition dates: 6 June to 16 August
• Location: RMIT Gallery, 344 Swanston St, Melbourne
• Hours: 11am-5pm Tuesday-Friday, 11am-4pm Saturdays
