Hobson's Bay Overwintering Project

Louis Joel Arts and Community Centre
5 Sargood Street, Altona 3018
Hobson's Bay City Council is working with The Overwintering Project and its partners including Bird Life Australia to highlight the unique birdlife and habitats that we have within our local area. The exhibition will result from a series of free workshops run monthly between September 2018 and April 2019.
Through a series of artist-led workshops, the project will focus on migratory shorebirds and their current vulnerability. Artists attending the workshops, to be held at various local habitat sites and the Woods Street Art Space in Laverton, are invited to contribute original prints created in response to the unique nature of local Hobsons Bay bird habitats. Following the workshop program a selection of prints produced from The Overwintering Project workshops will be displayed from 10 May to 6 June at the Louis Joel Gallery in Altona. This exhibition will be part of the 2019 Hobson's Bay World Migratory Bird Day Festival.
