History of Art in Public Places

Art in Public Places started in 2004 as part of the visual arts program of the Williamstown Summer Festival.

The project was so successful that it was expanded across the city so as artists and businesses throughout Hobsons Bay could participate. The project is now managed by Hobsons Bay City Council and is run in conjunction with the Williamstown and Bayside Festivals.  

Over the seven years the project has been running it has enabled over 500 artists to exhibit in businesses and various venues in Hobsons Bay.
