Wunder Gym

Wunder Gym is a unique professional development program open to artists and creative practitioners at all career stages, who reside in the western regions of Melbourne.

The program is presented annually, in partnership with Wyndham City Council. Through the program, participants create new work for an exhibition outcome with the support of an established artistic mentor.

Wunder Gym participants develop new skills and techniques, extend their creative practice, engage with new audiences and connect with a broad network of practising artists.  

Under the guidance of Wunder Gym founder Annette Wagner and mentor artist James Nguyen, through workshops and shared resources, participants will create work towards the Transcriptions exhibition and several temporary art activations across Hobsons Bay and Wyndham City during the Melbourne Fringe Festival program (30 September to 19 October 2025).
