Glen Eira Story Telling Festival – Artist of the Brighton Cemetery – Saturday 27th June 2026
2pm – meet at the front gate on North Road
Many artists who played significant roles in the history of Australian art are buried in the Brighton Cemetery. Hear the stories from beyond the grave of these fascinating lives and their connections to art and each other. The Melbourne art world was comparatively small, so it is not surprising that many of their lives were linked. Artists we will visit on this walk include a few of the Boyds, Albert Tucker, Will Dyson and Frederick McCubbin; just some of the many artists buried within the walls of the Brighton Cemetery.
Rachel Mackay who will be taking the walk is part of the local art network and is a member of the Cemetorians.
