EMIT | Contemporary art that glows was an exhibition curated by Cash Brown as part of the Glow Winter Arts Festival in the City of Stonnington, Melbourne.

From August 14 - 24, 2014 at the Chapel off Chapel gallery in Prahran, visitors were treated to a glowing spectacle of contemporary art spanning three decades and many genres. Some of Australia's most fascinating artists were selected for their pioneering practices and unique expressions including Howard Arkley, Elvis Richardson,  Joan Ross, Adam Cullen, Cara- Ann Simpson, Erica Seccombe, Warren Armstrong and Yenny Huber. Community participants Brianna and Joel made amazing digital media works from the workshops with Yenny Huber, with more to come!

While the exhibition is over, it is hoped to develop it further into a touring exhibition, complete with workshops for community members to engage with the artists and make works of their own, which EMIT a sense of place and identity.

Erica Seccombe's stunning sculptures glowed under emitted UV.

One of Melbourne's most iconic artists gave us Sunshade Home and Freeway Exit.

Brianna really put herself into this bright work, using fluoro colours and
self graffiti!

Joel took on the task of turning photography,
drawing and collage to a whole new level, combining the past and present
neighbourhood into this futuristic landscape.
