Melbourne Arts Festival 2025: What’s Happening at Our Showroom

Every September, Melbourne has this amazing buzz about it. The Arts Festival transforms the village into a hive of creativity, and everywhere you turn there’s something new to see. This year it takes place on Saturday 21st and Sunday 22nd September, and we’re so excited to be part of it again, at Lynne Kelly Interiors.

Our Showroom, but a Little Different

For the festival weekend, our showroom won’t look quite like it usually does. Instead, it’ll become part of the Art & Architecture Trail, with work from five local artists displayed throughout the space. We love how the festival gives us a chance to show our interiors in a completely different way — with art layered into the setting, bringing colour, personality, and creativity into the mix. This week Lynne and the team have been preparing for the weekend by moving furniture, putting up new curtains and blinds, dusting the shelves and tidying up the space to welcome the five talented artists. The artists we are hosting this year are: Patrice Egan - Photographer Waney Grain Artisan Wood Works - Guilding and Woodturning Emma Jeanne Felting - Felt Artist Rosie Priestley - Jewellery Ruby Beau Art - Contemporary Painter

It’s always so special to see our space through fresh eyes, and we can’t wait for you to experience it too.

Festival-Only Offers

Of course, it wouldn’t be a festival without a few treats! So, we’ve put together some exclusive offers just for the weekend:

• 20% off all fabric purchases (excluding already discounted fabrics)

• Fabric bundles for £5 each — perfect for crafters, makers, or anyone who loves to experiment with textiles
  

Whether you’re browsing the art, looking for interiors inspiration, or hunting for fabric, there’ll be something waiting for you here.

Why We Love Being Involved

For us, the Melbourne Arts Festival is about more than just displaying work — it’s about the atmosphere. The conversations, the people wandering through the trail, the energy that fills the village… it’s such a joy to be part of it.

We really enjoy opening our doors in a different way, welcoming people in not just to shop but to connect and be inspired. It’s a chance to celebrate creativity and community all in one weekend.
