Airtime
Airtime is a public art project that highlights the creative talents of young people in Hobsons Bay.
Artworks are reproduced and printed on large flags and exhibited for a three-month period on the flag poles at Altona Meadows Skate Park.
Since its inception, Airtime has showcased hundreds of works by young artists from the west, and provides a creative experience for those of us who live or travel through the area.
Expressions of interest are accepted annually, around April each year via the Creative Opportunities page. Subscribe to the Creative City e-newsletter for updates on application rounds and other opportunities, news and events in Hobsons Bay.

Using bright colours and a distinctive style, artist Tara Mathews dedicates their exhibition to the queer women and gender-diverse individuals who feel like they don’t fit in. The artworks visually represent the alienating feeling of not quite fitting the mould, but also the solidarity in knowing that there is a whole community of people who are facing the same struggle.
"Stand Out is a response to the queer experience of feeling different from everyone around you... It can sometimes be a struggle choosing either to blend in and act like something you aren’t, or to make the choice to be yourself and stand out. Even though being different can sometimes feel like a burden, it is those differences that make you who you are." – Tara Mathews
