City Lights Projects

Melbourne’s rep for street art is not just a recent thing. The City Lights Project has been shining away for over a decade. Lightboxes are installed in a small alcove off Centre Place (look for the creperie, then down the alley opposite) and along Hosier Lane (also famous for its densely applied stencil work). Local and international artists make use of the illuminated minigalleries; view them 24/7. The project’s main man Andrew Mac has also opened a more traditional gallery space, Until Never; it highlights underground artists and is an interesting bridge between the two scenes.
