AusArt Day: A trip down memory lane

What's On
Celebrating 40 years
That's a wrap!
We've closed the curtain on our 40th anniversary festival! MWF will be returning in 2027 from 6-9 May. Our MWF Schools Program will also be back to inspire students across Victoria from 3-7 May.
This year's festival, Visions & Revisions, brought together an incredible community of readers, writers and storytellers. Take a look back at some of the special moments from MWF 2026.
We respectfully acknowledge that Melbourne Writers Festival takes place on the traditional lands of the peoples of the Kulin Nation. We pay our respects to Elders past and present.
