From May 5 to 14, venues and spaces across Frankston will come to life with an array of imaginative performances by hundreds of artists. The 2023 program is still being developed, but so far you can expect the nine-day festival to cover art forms ranging from theatre and live music to immersive visual arts exhibitions, workshops, markets and everything in between.
Celebrate Frankston's rich cultural history with a visit to Frankston Arts Centre Theatre's foyer to see Jenny Zhe Chang's installation 'Lights with Hope – Unity'. Chang's work features 77 lanterns that reflect the 77 cultural and ethnic groups living in the City of Frankston. Over at Cube 37 Glass Box and Gallery, immersive visual artists Skunk Control will be displaying three large-scale light works as part of a project called 'A Persistent Presumption'.
Melbourne is home to heaps of incredible street art, and Frankston is no exception. If you're keen to get a good look at some of the city centre's finest graffiti, book in for a session of Torchlight Tours, a series of 1.5-hour guided tours tracking down 60 mammoth murals around the city centre. You'll get a close-up look at pieces by renowned street artists including Smug, PichiAvo, Vesod and Lady Diva.
