West End Art Park
Four Melbourne artists will make a canvas of a carpark.
Overview
If you're a West Melburnian and have places to be this weekend, make sure you leave time to get there on foot — art's taken your parking space.
From noon till 4pm this Sunday, December 18 the carpark of the new West End development on Rosslyn Street is being commandeered by four artists, DJ Django and a small legion of food trucks. The aim is to transform the concrete-grey gloom of a city carpark into a vibrant 'urban gallery' in just four hours. Artists George Rose, Phibs, Georgia Hill and Ken Taylor will fight the clock to jazz up the space you disconsolately park your Corolla each night (well, hypothetically).
Rose will be upping the ante by running two half-hour lettering workshops throughout the afternoon, while local DJ Django changes everything you thought you knew about carpark acoustics. The event only runs for four hours, but on the off-chance you're skin and bone after two, Gorilla Grill, Nuoc Mama's Food Truck and The Grace Caravan will be on standby to dispense emergency victuals.
