15.01.2022 Picture Windows EOI The City of Melbourne is partnering with Renew Australia to support the creative reactivation of the city and facilitate the leasing of vacant shops. Renew Australia is working with property owners and agents to facilitate access to vacant spaces. The City of Melbourne is running an Expression of interest (EOI) for a new opportunity to present artworks applied as vinyl decals on the exterior of vacant shopfronts and spaces around the city are open f...rom Monday 2 November. As Melbourne emerges from isolation and lockdown, we can take comfort in the return of friends, colleagues and crowds, to familiarise ourselves again with our favourite places and reflect upon what the city means to all Melburnians. As part of this renewal process, it will be vital to encourage social re-connection and the City of Melbourne understands how art can play a vital role in our social activation and economic recovery. By advocating for, and developing, projects that will draw residents, workers and visitors back into the city and its businesses, Melbourne can reaffirm its position as the world’s most liveable place. Property Owners and Agents Do you have a property that you think might be suitable for this project, please contact us at [email protected] directly.
