As we head into August, Docklands continues to look for new ways to bring awareness to Melbourne, with activities such as Docklands Public Art Walk.

Public art has always contributed a strong sense of identity for Melbourne,
and Docklands is no exception. With 36 artworks situated at various locations, in parks, promenades and embedded into architecture and landscapes in and around the Docklands area. For those not yet familiar with the Docklands’ Public Art Walk, you’re in for a real treat.

With artworks by established and emerging Australian artists, highlighting
themes from history and the future, land and sea, humanity and technology, the art at Docklands is an unforgettable experience. It will surprise, excite and
delight you!

From the Walk of Stars by Peter Cortlett & Jamie Cooper to Silence by Adrian Mauriks, and not forgetting the stunning Aurora by Geoff Bartlett, each has a unique presence. Other sculptures, such as the futuristic graffiti of Field of Play by Troy Innocent and the outstanding Blowhole by Duncan Stemler, are truly amazing - a spectacular animated beacon celebrating Docklands maritime history.

To find out more about Docklands Public Art Walk, pick up a brochure from the Tourism Lounge at Harbour Town Shopping Centre.
