Working with real estate agents and property owners we transform areas of vacant shops, graffiti and bill posters into creative destinations.
As part of the Active Spaces Program, we are currently delivering the Active Windows Project, installing artwork from Darebin locals onto the external windows of vacant shopfronts across Darebin.
This is designed to attract long term tenants into vacant Darebin shopfronts, reduce tagging on vacant shopfronts, and showcase emerging Darebin artists and their artwork in the public realm.
We are currently partnering with local education providers to showcase the students from the creative courses. If you are an artist of Darebin that is keen to know more about the program and has artwork to showcase, please email us at business@darebin.vic.gov.au to find out more.
If there are any vacant shops in your shopping strip that you think could benefit from being part of Active spaces? Get in touch, we can try and seek permission from the real estate agent or property owners to activate the shopfront window and help bring vibrancy to the shopping area.
Please email business@darebin.vic.gov.au with your suggestions and we will follow up.
