Christmas windows shine bright

Christmas is well on the way in Caroline Springs with the installation of a heart-warming display on the windows of CS Gallery.

Throughout December and January, festive decals will be on display on the exterior windows of the gallery in a bid to capture the joy, warmth, and spirit of Christmas in and around Melton.

The colourful images have been designed by Footscray-based illustrator and muralist Lynn Bremner, who worked to capture and portray the many ways people celebrate the festive season together and represent the diversity which makes up the Melton community.

Bremner’s work spans murals, editorial and book illustration, packaging, and animation, all unified by a bold use of colour, people and movement.

The visual stories depict cherished moments from Christmas, such as enjoying food together, playing games, exchanging gifts and decorating a Christmas tree, with local flora and fauna also being woven into the joyful festive images – all brought together with a bold and summery colour palette.

Mayor Lara Carli said the windows capture the pure joy of Christmas.

“Christmas is about coming together, sharing special moments, and creating lasting memories. This year’s CS Gallery window theme captures that beautifully, with heart-warming images of people from diverse backgrounds coming together to celebrate,” she said.

“Melton City Council is proud to support local artists to share their inspiring work with our community.”

All are being invited to see the festive windows for themselves located at 193 Caroline Springs Boulevard.
