Melbourne Festival, Creative Victoria and Yarra Trams present
MELBOURNE ART TRAMS
Now in its third year, the Melbourne
Art Trams project showcases some
of Victoria’s brightest artistic
talents as they transform our
city’s iconic trams into mobile art
installations.
Featuring both established and
emerging artists, Melbourne Art
Trams is a vibrant celebration of a
vehicle that has become an emblem
of Australia’s premier arts city.
A revival of the Transporting Art
project that ran between 1987
and 1993, Melbourne Art Trams is
made possible through a creative
partnership between Melbourne
Festival, Yarra Trams and Creative
Victoria.

This year’s creative focus
was conceived in association
with MPavilion. We invited
artists to take inspiration from
Melbourne’s architectural
landscape and design a tram
that responds to how design
and architecture define the
character of the city.
