Public Art

The Public Art Collection showcases outdoor artworks commissioned from the 1980s to the present, featuring a diverse range of local and national artists. Located strategically throughout the municipality, the collection includes sculptures, murals, mosaics, and billboards by notable artists such as Bruce Armstrong, Paola Balla, Tom Civil, and Raf McDonald. These artworks contribute to the vibrant cultural landscape of Moonee Valley and reflect the community's sense of history, identity, place, and aspirations.

Aligned with the council's Arts and Culture Strategy, Igniting Creativity (23-27) and Art and Heritage Collection and Acquisition Policy, the Public Art Collection includes permanent works with a lifespan of 20-25 years, temporary artworks with a lifespan of 1-5 years, and ephemeral artworks with a lifespan of a few minutes to one year. This initiative highlights Council’s commitment supporting artistic practices, enriching public spaces, and enhancing community identity.
