KALDOR PUBLIC ART PROJECTS For the past 50 years, Kaldor Public Art Projects has created groundbreaking projects with international artists in public spaces. The initiative has changed the landscape of contemporary art in Australia with projects that have resonated around the world. For the past several years, the organisation has added education to its mission, with programs dedicated to creative learning for all ages.

To mark this anniversary a new exhibition was created, Making art public: 50 years of Kaldor Public Arts Projects. Gandel Philanthropy provided support as the Major Education Partner, to enable a range of educational programs to take place such as tours, creative workshops and drop-in activities for children and school students.

One of the activities in the education program is a “Pet Project”, where children are encouraged to make a tribute to their pet or favourite animal, drawing inspiration from Jeff Koon’s Puppy (pictured in the corner).
