Watt a beautiful art project 💡
Billilla Mansion Lightbox Project: July – December 2023
Brightening up our dark winter nights, the gardens at Billilla Mansion are illuminated with beautiful lightbox installations by Bayside artist Mark Forbes, featuring ballerina Aimee Hodgkinson.
The installations herald a new era for Billilla as a centre for art, culture and creativity in Bayside.
Mark Forbes is the first of three contemporary artists who have been asked to engage with the Billilla site. They will each create three artworks for display on the temporary lightboxes installed in the Gardens at Billilla from July to December. 2023.
A new era for Billilla
We’re embarking on a staged, long term program of restoration and activation of this heritage gem in Brighton.
The program includes a series of considered heritage and amenity upgrades to create accessible, engaging and well-maintained spaces for the community to enjoy.
The aspirations of the community shared in 2021 and the Billilla Advisory Committee will guide arts and cultural programming at Billilla as a place to engage, create, learn and celebrate.
