An outdoor street
art gallery and art
precinct initiative
due for completion
in 2020.
Shed 180 is an outdoor street art gallery. The previously blank wall surfaces of an old brick warehouse showcase a selection of works by Australian (and international) established and establishing street artists. Working with urban art consultant, Alleycat Creative, Perri Projects handpicked a group of local Melbourne, Australian and international artists to design and collaborate on the catalyst works for the project.
Shed 180 is an exciting new art initiative, that is part of the invigoration of a former industrial waterfront location. It is the first stage in the establishment of a new and edgy art precinct within Perri Projects urban renewal project at West Melbourne Waterfront.
It is incredibly rare for a blank canvas of this size, and just minutes from the CBD, to become available. Its unique connection to Footscray and Kensington, as well as the train line, cycle network and river traffic are also very appealing to artists.
Perri Projects understands that the large, lifeless walls that exist in, and around, this former industrial precinct offer an incredible opportunity to celebrate Australia’s vibrant street art culture. The contrast between the industrial surroundings and the delicate, hand-painted designs also reflects the relationship between people and their city.
Shed 180 is bringing colour, life and energy to West Melbourne.
