Casa Cultura presents the ‘Carnival of Treasures’, an immersive treasure hunt that will attract visitors to explore the Carlton precinct on Saturday December 3, 2022.
This project pays homage to the melting pot of creative and cultural influences that make Carlton one of the most iconic precincts in Melbourne. It’s developed by Casa Cultura, supported by the City Activations Grants program, and designed to make local businesses, culture and art more visible.
The journey will include a series of creative and participative workshops in iconic precinct locations such as La Mama, Trades Hall, Kathleen Syme Library and Lincoln Square. These activities will be designed and led by recognised artists, in partnership with prestigious institutions such as Melbourne Fringe, La Mama Theatre and Community Music Victoria.
The day will conclude with a celebration at Lincoln Square in the style of the world’s most iconic public arts festival: the “carnaval”. Performers of various different South American traditions will come together to showcase their vibrant music and dance, inviting the audience to participate in this iconic example of community engagement in the arts.
We are looking for business partners, located within the Carlton precinct, to be part of the ‘Carnival of Treasures’. Business partners will be listed as destinations in the interactive treasure hunt and receive visitors through the day of the activation. There is no cost for businesses to participate.
