The Department of Transport and Planning, DTP, is inviting expressions of interest from artists in Victoria to showcase their artwork at Wallan Railway Station.
As part of DTP’s Transporting Arts Pilot Program, artists are invited to submit new or existing artwork reflecting the local landscape of Wallan – a rapidly growing town where the city meets the country.
The program in Wallan is being delivered in partnership with V/Line and Mitchell Shire Council, with submissions open until January 19, 2024.
The artist of the selected artwork will receive $3000 for their contribution.
According to the State Government’s website, the program aims to elevate transport hubs ‘by showcasing artwork that reflects the rich heritage and culture of the local area’.
DTP’s Transporting Arts Pilot Program aims to enliven the community experience at tram stops and train stations across Victoria with public art installations by local artists.
The program has transformed five sites including tram stops at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Melbourne Museum and Carlton, and train stations in Wyndham Vale and Pascoe Vale.
