Site Description:
Citylights is an independent public art project utilising permanent lightbox exhibition sites and produces ephemeral events focusing on collaboration, street art, and emerging artists. Citylights is operational since 1996 and has exhibited work by more than 400 artists. Sites in Hosier Lane and Centre Place are notorious as outdoor galleries, added to daily by countless artists, and hailed as the No.1 cultural attraction in Australia by Lonely Planet in 2007.
Citylights is directed and cofounded by Andy Mac. In 2005 Andy founded Until Never - an indoor space for outside artists.
CITYLIGHTS PROJECTS currently coordinate four permanent projects:
