Public art 

Inspiring art is everywhere in Melbourne - hidden in nooks and crannies, over, under and around street corners and right where you’d never expect to find it.

Quirky, creative and contemporary art can be found rising from the pavement in front of the State Library of Victoria, installed in intimate laneways and even whistling through the air, like the sound-scape on William Barak Bridge.

View ‘City Lights’, the artwork filled light boxes in Centre Place and Hosier Lane, take a walking journey around the amazing urban art collection at Docklands, or bustle past performance artists at random city locations.
