Test Sites program

Since 2015, the City of Melbourne’s Test Sites program has supported Victorian artists to explore and experiment with temporary creative ideas in the public realm.

The Test Sites program helps Victorian artists develop and test their temporary public art ideas by providing project funding, practical advice and support to work creatively in public space.

The program aims to increase artists’ capability and confidence to work in the public realm through creative development while engaging with the city, its sites and infrastructures as a place for creative expression.
