We are proud to present this fantastic addition to the festival where we transform the rural city of Wangaratta into a walk around gallery. Selected local business will transform there shop window space to create a mini gallery for a local artists.

In celebration of the Wangaratta Festival of Jazz and Blues, Ronan Holdsworth Gallery is thrilled to offer local artists an unique platform to showcase their incredible artworks! Imagine your art gracing the inside of windows (a window display of your works) of shops up and down the main streets of Wangaratta throughout the festival, turning the city into a dynamic, open-air gallery throughout the day and night.

What’s the Plan?

Ronan Holdsworth Gallery will carefully pair the artists with local business owners so they can work as a team to display the artists works in the shopfronts, as to create a stunning window displays that captures the spirit of the festival and the vibrancy of our community. It’s a chance to see how your creative vision can transform a storefront into a visual masterpiece. It will be up to you and the business owner to co-ordinate the space. (We are not painting the windows of the businesses)
