Acland Street Village

Don`t forget Big Sculpture is still on! And there`s a FREE walking tour with the curators this Sunday (read on for deets on this one).

Whilst the volkswagon opposite The Vineyard has been garnering a lot of attention there are many more equally interesting pieces all over town, ( Twenty One in total! )

The BIG Sculpture St Kilda Trail 2024-25 starts at The Acland St Tram terminus then loops its way through the town engaging with vibrant local business precincts along Acland Street and beyond..

The trail takes you from the vibe of bustling Acland Street atmosphere, to quiet, leafy streets, and, of course, our panoramic Bay views.

This what makes the Big Sculpture St Kilda Trail unique.

The trail culminates in the serene and fertile beauty of the St Kilda Community Gardens which offer a perfect setting to relax and reflect on the journey and talk about what pieces meant the most to you and what you all thought the artist was saying with their work.

Check out @big_sculpture and follow the links to see all details on their website or pick up a map at Linden Gallery at 26 Acland Street.

Plus, don`t miss walking tour of the exhibition trail, where you’ll be given insight into the artists, their work and the historical St Kilda area, by the curators of the exhibition, Adrian Spurr & Mariella Del Conte!

Best of all, the tour is free! So grab a coffee, pop your dog on a lead and enjoy a pleasurable morning of wandering and learning.

Love to join? Meet this Sunday at the 96 Tram Terminus, 167 Acland Street at 10:00am - depart at 10:10am.

The Big Sculpture trail runs until February 19th.

The National Theatre in St Kilda is our glorious historic venue still presenting a diverse array of shows, including theatre, dance, music, and comedy over a hundred years since it opened as a 3000 (!?! ) seat cinema in 1921, converting to a live venue in 1972 .

It currently houses Australia`s longest-established drama and ballet schools, offering comprehensive training programs for aspiring performers.

The theatre also serves as a community hub, supporting local arts organisations and hosting various cultural events throughout the year, including the upcoming multiple Tony Award winning show from Broadway AVENUE Q ( an adults only puppet musical that won BEST SHOW and BEST SCORE! )

To book tickets or to enquire about auditioning for the drama or dance programs go to @thenationaltheatremelbourne and follow the links. Currently undergoing renovations, The Theatre is located at 20 Carlisle Street on the corner w Barkly.
