Hidden Art in Monbulk

Monbulk residents can explore their creativity by making art from things old and new to be hidden in the main street as part of a community art project.

 “Hidden”, presented by the Monbulk Arts Project, is a joint effort of Council and the Monbulk Business Network.

The project includes an opportunity for people to make art for the street, then temporarily hide it on the walls of Monbulk.

The project follows the streetscape project that has rejuvenated the shopping district last year.

The project will include free workshops for community groups or school classes to be held between June 23 and July 3.

The Monbulk Arts Project group is calling for expressions of interest for the workshops which can be held at their own venues or the Monbulk Living and Learning Centre.

The two-hour workshops can include Mandala painting, crochet, collage, natural dyeing, illustration, stencil spray art, felting, studio time, guided artistic tours of Monbulk.

Expressions of interest in art workshops can be made to Jenny Watson from the Monbulk Business Network on 9756 7566 or John Coleman on 9014 9733.

The project will be launched with a sausage sizzle at Monbulk Hub on Sunday 23 June from 12-2pm.
