Clean Up Our Backyard

Applications close Sunday 10th November 2019

MARS Gallery is calling all artists to submit proposals for a public street art initiative proudly supported by the City of Stonnington Arts and Culture grant 2020. Clean up our Backyard is a not-for-profit initiative launched by MARS Gallery aiming to improve the street art around its home in Windsor, Melbourne Australia to commission four artists to each receive $10,000 to create a public art work. The unveiling of the project will be used to raise money for Skyline Education Foundation Australia, a charity that aims to facilitate education for talented young people who are financially and / or socially challenged. For this reason, they are asking artists to present proposals that address concerns facing young people today.

With the commission MARS hopes to:

  • Improve the environment of an important shared public space

  • Bring people to the area

  • Attract tourists and contribute to the local economy

  • Encourage shopkeepers to take pride in local public areas

  • Create an enduring visual message addressing the issues facing young people across the world today
