Northcote Rise Neon Art Park
Interactive neon installations by artist Carla O'Brien will transform Northcote's Civic Square into a dazzling outdoor gallery.
Overview
Northcote's High Street is worlds apart from the dusty expanse of Burning Man. But after this month, they'll share something in common: both will have played host to interactive neon art installations by renowned Aussie artist Carla O'Brien.
You might be familiar with O'Brien's signature work, Neon Angel Wings, which shot to global fame after Katy Perry posed for a snap with them installed at the US festival back in 2016. Now, the artist's taking over the Northcote stretch affectionately dubbed The Rise, for a two-weekend pop-up installation celebrating diversity.
From December 9–12 and again from December 16–19, Northcote Rise Neon Art Park will see a swag of playful neon pieces grace Civic Square at the Northcote Town Hall. Expect hot pink poodles, vibrant flowers and interlocking hearts, on show as the sun dips each night. And yes; those angel wings will be making an appearance so you can have your own little Burning Man moment, right here on home soil.
