Creative Latrobe
An outcome from our Looking Forward Latrobe work, Creative Latrobe is a partnership between Latrobe Health Assembly and Latrobe City Council.
The project aims to work with the community to implement exciting and bold art activations and installations across Latrobe Valley.
The Creative Latrobe Report outlines the ideas and thinking behind the project, guided by community input. Suggestions of places in need of public art include underpasses/interchanges, facades, nooks, bus stops and planters/garden beds.
Kicking things off in early 2022, a mural was completed at Centenary Park in Yinnar by local artists Steve Bechaz. The mural compliments a new playpark that attracts families, bringing life to the façade of a shed that borders the area.
