The Laneway Commissions were conceived by the City of Melbourne as an ongoing opportunity for artists to contribute to the interpretation of the urban environment, extending the planned and familiar beyond its functional aspects.

Now entering their seventh season, these commissions are a well recognised and much discussed aspect of city life for residents, workers and visitors.

Each year, artists choose their own site, theme and art practice, and many of the works are deliberately designed to be fleeting and anti-monumental.

Artists explore the creative capacity of a space and present their ideas in a captivating way to a larger audience.
