Photo: Adam Chandler MELBOURNE ART TRAMS Following its debut in 2013, the Melbourne Art Trams project returns for its second year, thanks to a creative partnership between Melbourne Festival, Yarra Trams and Arts Victoria. Festival, eight trams on eight different routes will be transformed, as we invite some of the state’s most innovative visual artists to use our most famous residents as their canvas. A revival of the popular Transporting Art project that ran between 1978 and 1993, Melbourne Art Trams once again populates Melbourne’s iconic tram network with moving works of art. Featuring both established and emerging artists, Melbourne Art Trams showcases some of Victoria’s brightest artistic talents, in a vibrant celebration of a vehicle that has become an emblem of Australia’s premier arts city.
