Public Art Park was an outdoor program featuring 26 projects over two weeks, with a focus on activities that engage directly with the Queen Victoria Market site and its market context. 

The program including a six-week lab that was about coming together to be in a place, learn from a place and contribute to cultures of place. It is about making a space, it is about being, doing and sharing in public. The Lab was a convivial space where we gathered each week, made lunch, discussed ideas and developed projects.
