ART IN PLACE is the City of Melville’s series of temporary public artworks that aim to engage the community by giving residents and visitors unique opportunities to experience and encounter contemporary art in significant and accessible locations across the City.

Planning for the City of Melville’s next ART IN PLACE installation, Sonic Hill, is underway, with the event aiming to connect people to the past and present through the clever use of sound. Further details will be released soon, while the event is anticipated to take place in April 2019.

In the meantime, check out the images below from our first installation, Confluence, which tranformed the Applecross foreshore for four nights in June 2018.

More than 36 studios, galleries, creative spaces and Artist Run Initiatives (ARI’s) opened their doors on Saturday, 8 September and Sunday, 9 September 2018 for the second annual City of Melville Open Studios and Exhibitions Art Trail.

Details for the Open Studios and Exhibitions Art Trail will be released in mid-2019. Check back then for details.

Thousands of little hands and little feet descended on Tompkins Park on Sunday, 4 November for Kidchella, the City’s free, bohemian-inspired festival for children.

Details for Little Hands 2019 will be released in mid-2019. In the meantime, check out the images below from Little Hands Presents: Kidchella!
