Congratulations to artists Datsun Tran, Robert Hague, Saffron Newey, Al Stark, VEXTA, ELLE & Melanie Young who were commissioned to create new works for the new development of East Brunswick Village. For the past two years ADA have been the driving culture consultants leading place making at EBV and have been dedicated to making art a part of everyday life.
EBV have primarily engaged local artists to commission public art that will stand the test of time. There will be art throughout EBV, in a range of mediums including sculpture, photography, and murals.
Congratulations to Meagan Streader who was commissioned on a public art project for Longriver's new development East Central in Box Hill.
