A new public art installation depicting large community lanterns now brightens up Copas Park.
These curious, playful and enticing structures are creatures housing an ever-changing gallery of small artworks. They are imagined beings made only to be filled with the imagination of others.
These unique public art sculptures were unveiled in December 2023 have been refurbished with a new colourful look to embrace some seasonal colour and are a magnificent site to see.
To protect, illuminate and showcase the creativity of the community for the community. Their hand-crafted legs bring unique personalities, while their bodies are open and transparent, ready to be filled with new ideas, inspirations and creations. Visit them often and discover what new stories they may have to share with you. Looking forward to displaying some local history in the community lanterns.
Look closely at the lantern inserts, their illustrations feature the places, people and cuisines that makes Noble Park so special.
This 360-degree, solar powered exhibition offers residents and visitors the opportunity to enjoy public art in an innovative art presentation. Check it out at night too as they light up after dark, just like a real lantern.
