The Projects Launch

Overview

Car parks are usually thought to be places to simply park a car. Or a slightly different vehicle. But lately they’re being used for more arty happenings. First a Kings Cross car park was used in SafARI, and now The Vic’s abandoned car park is been transformed into a beer garden and multipurpose creative space called The Projects.

Street art is a big part of these arty bits n’ pieces, most likely because they have a handy giant 20 x 8 metre wall to play with. Every fortnight it’s going to be graffiti-ed or street art-ed up by artists including Sofles, Roach, Pudl, Numskull.

They’re also going to do bike swaps, designer markets (curated by the Lo-Fi Collective), an open air cinema (perfect for summer), workshops, live music, basketball and foodie treats (like rotisserie meats). You can even bring your kiddies (if you have any — you could always borrow some off a friend for the day), or dog.

The team behind this? It’s the same crew that runs the Lo-Fi Collective and the Tate at the Toxteth Hotel. It’s going to be a place to hang.
