Interactive neon art installations will light up Melton at an exciting new event next week.
Illuminate Melton will run from Thursday April 7 to Saturday April 9 and exhibit the work of renowned Australian visual artist Carla O’Brien.
Ms O’Brien will install a range of small and large scale pieces around Melton’s Clock Tower Ampitheatre and other various locations along Bakery Square for the event.
The event will host up to 32 neon installations for the community to experience.
On Saturday night there will be a range of family friendly activities including glow in the dark mini golf, LED face painting, an LED circus space, a silent cinema and roving LED hula hoopers.
Local food traders will also be open and available during the event.
The City of Melton will host the event as a part of plans to revitalise Melton’s town centre and attract more members of the community to the area.
City of Melton Mayor Goran Kesic encouraged the community to visit the event to see the neon installations and make the most of the free entertainment.
“It’s fantastic to have the Illuminate installation come to the City of Melton,
“This exciting display has previously been showcased at White Night in Melbourne so it’s wonderful to bring it to our local community,” Mayor Kesic said.
