Developed in partnership by Signal and Artful Dodger Studios, the new workshop series will see visual artist Deborah Kelly mentoring young people to create large scale collage art works.
These works will be developed in June at Signal's creative arts studio on Northbank before being screened at Signal and Federation Square and exhibited in prominent locations across the city later this year.
Arts and Culture portfolio Chair Councillor Rohan Leppert encouraged young people to get involved in the workshops.
"This new workshop series is the latest exciting offering from the City of Melbourne's innovative Signal program which gives young people a wonderful opportunity to explore their creativity and their city," Councillor Leppert said.
"To grow Melbourne as a leading creative city, the City of Melbourne is committed to ensuring that the next generation of artists have opportunities to be mentored and the space to explore, create and showcase their work."
Workshops take place at Signal on Saturday 18 June, Saturday 25 June and on Monday 27, Tuesday 28 and Wednesday 29 June from 11am to 4pm each day.
Young people are also invited to participate in a conversation with Deborah Kelly which takes place prior to the workshops on Friday 17 June at 6pm in Studio 1 ACMI.
Deborah has been working in socially engaged practice with communities for many years, producing art that unpacks gender and media representations and explores elusive questions of community.
Working with a collection of imagery hand-picked from second hand stores, libraries and garage sales she collects and recombines images to re-present the world in affectionate and humorous ways.
Signal is a creative arts studio for young people 13 to 25. At Signal, young people work alongside professional artists in a collaborative way. It is a place for making, showing, inspiring and developing Melbourne's creative young talent – in every medium. Signal is located behind Flinders Street Station on Northbank, in the Les Erdi Plaza.
