The Magical Miniverse
MOYNE Shire Council is launching a captivating and environmentally conscious art project titled ‘The Magical Miniverse within a Curious Caravan.’
This unique installation aims to bring joy, creativity and sustainability together through a remarkable blend of upcycled toys, natural materials and interactive experiences.
Children of all ages and inclusive of all genders are invited to unleash their creativity to Frankenstein pre-loved toys into works of art. Workshop creations will contribute to a final immersive art installation,
‘The Magical Miniverse within a Curious Caravan’ to be held in Port Fairy on September 23. Housed within a meticulously refurbished vintage caravan, the installation will showcase various scenes crafted from donated pre-loved toys and household objects sourced from the community.
Mayor Cr Karen Foster said the project encouraged a connection to the natural world and inspired creative ways to give everyday items a new life.
“We can’t wait to see the creations that come of these workshops,” Cr Foster said.
“These activities will appeal to young makers and those who love the idea of repurposing objects that might otherwise go to landfill.”
Workshops will be held on Tuesday, June 27 from 1pm-3pm at Port Fairy Community House and on Wednesday, June 28 from 10.30am – 12.30pm at the Koroit Library.
The final installation will be a multisensory event held in Port Fairy on September 23 and will include a workshop.
