Art Deco and Modernism Society President and Expert will be conducting The popular  Art Deco Walks on the 9th and 10th of May in 2015, which of course is the Mother’s Day Weekend.  Included will be tours of the interior of The Civic Hall as part of his walks.  This will be the 1st time the Civic Hall has been open since 2002.  It will also coincide with the end of the 1st phase of the Community Design Process currently in progress at the Open Door Studio at The Civic Hall foyer.

Don’t miss your chance to view this amazing Art Deco Style building which opened in August 20th 1956 and was used for the many events associated with 1956 Olympic Rowing held at Lake Wendouree and served the community for many decades.

The times will be 10.30 and 2.30 on Saturday and Sunday. 

While you are in the Civic Hall be sure to have a look and the many items that will be on show.  The 10 concepts of the 1st phase of the  Community Design Process will be displayed as well as a preview of  some of the items of the forth coming  “The People’s Hall-Civic Hall” Exhibition at The Backspace Gallery in Camps St …4th-21st May 2015
