About the project

In 2021 Murrindindi, Mitchell and Mansfield Shire Councils were successful in receiving funding to create large-scale art installations along the Great Victorian Rail Trail.

Eight artists were engaged to create seven major art installations and 20 smaller works that have been placed along the length of the trail.

We thank the Victorian Government’s Regional Tourism Investment Fund whose $1.2M grant covered the full costs of the artworks, their installation and the selection process.

As part of the project, a series of new wayfinding and interpretive signs have also been installed to improve the visitor experience and share First Peoples stories to connect walkers and riders with sites along the trail.

For more information about the artist’s journey to develop the installations, check out the below videos.

This project has been managed by Global Art Projects (www.gap.net.au).
