Where the artists move in, the people eventually follow; at least this is the hope for the desolate Docklands.
For artists, space that has been made available to them through the Docklands Spaces project – part of the Renew Australia initiative – means a quiet and cheap area to work. For locals, it is hoped that their presence will inject a little colour into an area which, tacked onto the end of Melbourne’s CBD, has become an empty corporate wasteland.
