2013 Brusnwick Lodge Healthy Living - Outdoor Art Project

In late 2013, Arts Access Victoria was invited by Merri Community Health Services to project manage an Outdoor Art Project, to compliment the existing Healthy Living Project. This seven week project involved Brunswick Lodge SRS resident-lead activities aimed to enliven and increase "connection to place" amongst the Brunswick Lodge community.
