Last trio gig for 2025... New tunes...
Naarm/Melbourne-based pianist Abi Lee and her trio together explore the various sound environments Lee’s compositions convey. Blurring the roles of improvisers and composers, Lee’s compositions have strong influences from contemporary and modern improvised music practitioners such as Kris Davis, Ornette Coleman, Tony Malaby, and Tim Berne. Lee and her ensemble explore irregular metric patterns, bitonality, and dissonance, weaving in and out of free improvisation.

Drop-in life drawing for all skill levels - no experience necessary, materials provided, and all are welcome.
Join us for a very special Life Drawing event at The Brunswick Green, where we will pay tribute to Manhattan in the 1960's, inspired by the most visually iconic period show of all time – Mad Men.
On the last Sunday of November, we’ll convert the cosy front room of The Brunswick Green into the wonderful smoke filled world of Madison Avenue in 1962. Poses will range from 5 to 20 minutes and will feature some of the show’s most iconic scenes and characters.
The Brunswick Green’s warm, eclectic atmosphere will be transformed for the evening to the smoke filled rooms of Madison Avenue skyscrapers. From the clack of typewriters to the clink of whiskey glasses, every detail will set the stage for an immersive drawing experience.
Get ready to draw Don and Betty Draper, Joan Holloway and Megan Calvet, and the fabulous transformations of mid century styles from 1960 to 1969.
Whether you’re a fan of the series, the 60s, or simply looking for a unique life drawing session, this is a night to let your pencils capture all things mid-century aesthetic to an iconic soundtrack to match.
As always, we welcome artists of all levels, from seasoned sketchers to those just picking up a pencil. Bring your own drawing materials or ours. Arrive early to grab a gimlet and settle in for an unforgettable evening of creativity.

Melbourne’s own R’n’B/Pop powerhouse Sharaz Cavernet was never meant to play it safe. Vision-impaired, neurodiverse, an immigrant, and raised on chaos — she’s taken every so-called setback and turned it into fuel.
Her second EP, Resonate, dives straight into the mess and magic of her story — transforming raw emotion and lived experience into moody, cinematic pop ballads that hit hard and linger long after the final note.
This show pushes the envelope even further with an all-female lineup featuring some of Melbourne’s most magnetic up-and-coming voices:
🎤 NIN ( instagram.com/ninmancuso ) – Making her live debut, this breakout songwriter brings a heart-melting voice and serious soul.
🎤 Em Z- ( instagram.com/emzdra ) – Our Cinderella of R’n’B steps boldly into the spotlight, serving smooth vocals and velvetty tracks.

AFW PRESENTS: Recent 16mm Films by Jordan James Kaye
7:30pm - Tuesday 25th November
The Brunswick Green 313/315 Sydney Road, Brunswick
16mm projection
$10 on the door
Artist Film Workshop is pleased to present a program of handmade analogue films by one of its own, Jordan James Kaye. In recent years Kaye has become one of AFW’s most prolific members, completing numerous works each year with a peculiar intensity that is echoed in the tempo and rhythm of the films themselves. His practice draws from a range of darkroom processes — including extensive use of the contact printer for compositing and manipulation — alongside in-camera methods that register the immediacy of his engagement with the world. In these works, images emerge directly from the meeting of light, chemistry, process and touch. They carry the trace of their making not as marks of damage, but as expressions of attention and process, resulting in films that unfold with a vibrant dynamism.
