Photos from 2017 and 2018 Black Nite Black Lite

For 2 years, members of Wombat Regional Arts Network have successfully run the ‘Black Nite Black Lite’ winter solstice event in Ballan; traders windows were decorated using fluorescent materials created by artists, individuals, community groups and schools. The windows came alive for a week in winter using black light. The benefits for the community from these events were multi layered.
