New and upcoming Public Art opportunities at Darebin
MIGRATION PUBLIC ART PROJECT 2023-2025
Darebin Council has identified an opportunity to acknowledge and reflect our city’s rich and diverse migration history through the creation of a new public artwork. This public artwork is intended to be a place for acknowledgement of and reflection on the many diverse cultures in our community.
Submissions were sought from Victorian-based artists who have lived experience of migration, and with the support of a migrant community reference group, one artist was selected to develop an artwork for this project.
The successful artwork is titled 'Safety Net' by James Nguyen, and is currently being fabricated. This major new public artwork will be installed at GE Robinson Park in Reservoir, and publicly launched in September 2025.
