Time to see where we are at. The best way to do that is to see where we have come from. But how to do that? We have had some really fabulous coverage over the last little while, so let’s use the media to travel back in time before we head forward again.
Note: Working backwards put your rear-vision specs on.

What’s Art Got to do with It? by Amber Wilson.
Amber Wilson (writer) and Caleb Cluff (photographer) at the Ballarat Courier are doing a series on artists and what inspires them. It was great to get the call. ‘What inspires you Erin?’ Luxville arose from the stories of Ballarat of course. The gorgeous Tammy Fence is a tale of love, in the shape of a fence.
I’m still waiting on Amber or Caleb to send me an image of faded glory, and I’ll write them a tale. Dare yas!
So What’s Art Got to do with It Here. (Check out the video interview, I sing. Lal la lahhh)

Luxville Continues to Inject City with Creativity by Dellaram Vreeland.
Luxville Delusion was the focus of this article, the revelation of the second set of five muses that make up Luxville. The exhibition had storytelling in rap, a reading of the next chapter in Luxville and a few other surprises. Della then of Ballarat Courier fame really loved this image of Miss Nellie taken by Nadia Moth (herself another muse).

Luxville A Love Letter by Amber Wilson.
Luxville Photoplay was discovered by Amber, then new to Ballarat Courier, when she was browsing and found Amy’s article below. Photoplay focused on an extraordinary film event with an audience in the Minerva Space for a film shoot and citizenship ceremony. Total fun, total fabulous.

The Ballaarat Mechanics’ Institute has been a great supporter of the arts in Ballarat, and are noted to be the oldest longest serving Institute in the world. If you haven’t experienced the amazing Minerva Space then I hope through Luxville that you will. Its quite simply astounding. We held Luxville Photoplay in this space.
As part of the article Amy (who is also 1st AD on Luxville) asked me to write a Luxville Tale based on one of the Institute’s archival pieces. Click to read the tale of Mrs Alexander. I really love this one!

Transmedia Project Luxville Encourages Creativity by Dellaram Vreeland.

Luxville Project Explores Transforming Power of the Arts by Dellaram Vreeland.
Luxville 5 kicked off Luxville with the reveal of the first set of five muses. The photographic exhibition was part of the Ballarat International Foto Biennale. It was held in the white marble room at the beautiful Regent Cinemas, a cultural icon in Ballarat’s Lydiard St. Della of Ballarat Courier loved the concept of Luxville.
Thank you to all the wonderful journos, writers, photogs and supporters for helping to share the story of Luxville.
Will you come and play?
