SHOWCASING the region’s landscape, culture and history, Shepparton’s inaugural White Night event attracted more than 30,000 locals and visitors to the region in a vibrant and inclusive celebration of immersive art in June.
A much-loved celebration throughout regional Victoria, it is highly anticipated that White Night Shepparton will one day make its return, but until that time the inspirational creativity and cultural impact of the event will continue to live on in Shadows, a magnificent outdoor, public artwork by emerging artists Tori Day, Tahnee Day and Dylan Charles.
Situated on Country at Kaiela Arts on the Victoria Park wetlands, Shadows depicts stories of connection to rivers and waterways passed on through the generations of Yorta Yorta people.
Commissioned for White Night Shepparton, Shadows was gifted to the community of Shepparton by the minister of tourism, sport and major events, Steve Dimopoulos at Kaiela Arts, on Wednesday, September 28.
In warmly acknowledging the significance of the gifted artwork, Mr Dimopoulos said,
“Since White Night Shepparton’s inaugural event in June, Shadows has been warmly received by locals and visitors to Kaiela Arts and SAM and we’re proud to make it a permanent fixture on this storied landscape.”
