A season of contemporary public artworks

Unlike Melbourne’s grand facades and imposing main streets, our laneways were built to human scale. Since their construction in the mid-1800s they have continued to capture and reflect the more intimate details of Melbourne’s urban history.

Today, these laneways hold secrets to our past even while continuing to offer a world of exploration, discovery and adventure.

As unique spaces for public art, our laneways represent an opportunity to illuminate Melbourne’s past, reflect its present and grasp its future.
