Public+Art

Melbourne is full of public artworks, walking tours and art trials. Many of these public artworks can be found in Melbourne's laneways.

You can take the 'Art from the City Circle' tram ride, or walk through city streets, laneways, and squares and along the Yarra River to experience many of the city’s public artworks. media type="file" key="video.mp4" =City Lights= Centre Place and Hosier La Melbourne VIC 3000 Phone 03 9663 0442 Since 1996, the City Lights Project has been taking dark alleys and turning them into galleries. Hosier Lane and a small alcove just off Centre Place are two of the best known sites where lightboxes installed along the laneway wall illuminate works by local and international artists. The latter spot is also well known for its prolific stencil graffiti. According to project creator and curator Andrew Mac, some 300,000 pedestrians view the works each week.
