Cardigan Village community members are invited to get involved in the development of a new public art piece at their local community centre.

Victorian artist Katherine Masiulanis will be onsite at the Cardigan Village Community Centre throughout October to create new artwork for the centre’s courtyard.

The public art project will reflect on the local stories of Cardigan Village and on the community’s social and cultural diversity through the creation of a welcoming new space for community use. 

Katherine has designed the public artwork to reflect the geological and volcanic history of the area - Cardigan Village is located on an outcrop of ancient Silurian sandstone within the volcanic plain. 

During the installations there will be a number of opportunities for the community to be involved.

On Friday 26 October a community planting session will take place, with community members invited to help plant from 10am.

There are other opportunities to assist create community bunting throughout the month, and anyone interested is encouraged to contact: kategerritsen [at] ballarat.vic.gov.au ()

Just this week volunteers picked up a paintbrush and helped Katherine start painting one of the courtyard wall.

The works are due to be completed in early November.
