In addition to a world-class line-up of artists, a new contingent to the program is internationally acclaimed street artist Sofles, who is launching his magnum opus, Sofles: Compendium at the Benalla Art Gallery. The solo exhibition will provide an early glimpse of the much-loved festival from Friday March 6 until Sunday April 12. A survey of nearly two decades of work, this marks the first solo exhibition of this scale for the artist. Showcasing never-before-seen photographs, sketches, murals, installations and more, the exhibition offers a window into Sofles’ methods of process and what makes the Brisbane artist tick. Meet the artist known for his vivid artworks scattered through many of Melbourne’s iconic laneways, and was also behind 2013 viral video Limitless which amassed over ten million views. “This year we have yet again pulled together a roster of world class contemporary street artists,” says festival founder and artistic director Shaun Hossack. “It’s a reminder of how regional street art projects across the country are quickly becoming the life blood of many small towns, all while giving birth to a whole new generation of art lovers.” During the annual paint weekend, visitors of all ages can also enjoy a program of creative ‘off the wall’ experiences, including emerg● Yea Tigers Cricket Club A-Grade ing artist programs, artist talks, workshops, captain Marc Steiner says a big welinteractive activities, bus and walking tours, come will be given to supporters atfilm, immersive VR experiences, live music and tending this Saturday’s second-day of more. the match against Eastern Hill.

Yea Tigers welcomes fans
■ Evelyn MLA Bridget Vallence yesterday (Tues.) raised a question in State Parliament about traffic lights in Lilydale: “My question is to the Minister for Transport Infrastructure on behalf of Lilydale residents and the Lilydale Township Action Group. “Can the minister confirm if after the Lilydale level crossing on Maroondah Highway has been removed it will be replaced by traffic lights? “If so, can the minister advise what traffic modelling was undertaken and how replacing a level crossing with traffic lights will improve congestion at morning and afternoon peak in Lilydale. “The government announced it will spend almost half a billion dollars to remove the Mooroolbark and Lilydale level crossings, and that this would improve congestion. “With more than 53,000 vehicles using these crossings each day, my community in Lilydale want to know how long traffic will be at a standstill once traffic lights are installed, how this compares to congestion with the boom gates today and whether the minister will release this modelling to ensure transparency in the process and allow Lilydale residents to understand how spending half a billion dollars of taxpayers money to replace level crossing with traffic lights represents value for money,” Ms Vallence said.
Mill Pk fundraiser
■ Lily D’Ambrosio told State Parliament yesterday (Tues.) about a local fundrasier for bushfire victims. “I rise to inform the house that members of the Mill Park community came out in full force last Sunday to support the bushfire appeal fundraising barbecue. “It is an initiative that I was very keen to initiate because we know that many members of the local community are really keen to look for opportunities to participate and to help raise much-needed funds as a result of the devastation that has been had as a result of these fires in communities in East Gippsland and northeast Victoria. “We raised almost $2000, which will be shared between the CFA South Morang and the Victorian Bushfire Appeal fund. “More than 100 people came out to this event from all types of communities—coming together, talking, having some fun in the park and really thanking the volunteers from the CFA for their participation in having attended a number of the fires in East Gippsland. “I do want to acknowledge very kind donations from a number of different organisations locally, including Bertocchi Smallgoods, the BAPS mandir in Mill Park and the Kiritsis family. They all contributed food for free. “Also, the AMWU helped out with cooking and staffing the barbecue, and various other community organisations provided support,” Ms D’Ambrosio said.
