Yarra Trams
Arts Project Australia 2018 recipients of Yarra Trams inaugural Community Partnerships Program
In 2018, a new community initiative for Yarra Trams, the Community Partnerships Program saw eight community organisations share in $1 million worth of free advertising on Melbourne’s iconic tram network.
The Arts Project Australia tram launched in May 2018, with the artwork of Warren O’Brien and Cathy Staughton adorning one Melbourne tram.
Each organisation selected supports diversity and inclusion in Melbourne, and was chosen for the positive impact they make within the community across Melbourne’s tram network.
A huge thank you to Yarra Trams for including us in this inaugural Community Partnerships Program.
Yarra Trams CEO Nicolas Gindt“Cathy and Warren have created incredible artworks to transform the tram, and are fine ambassadors for all the artists based at Arts Project Australia. I’m delighted Yarra Trams is partnering with much-loved community organisations that champion diversity and inclusion in Melbourne every day.”
While Cathy’s design focused on the vibrancy of Luna Park, Warren’s piece represented the cityscape and lights of Melbourne’s skyline.
