Reviving Hosier Lane – a new chapter for Hosier INC

Reviving Hosier Lane – a new chapter for Hosier INC

Since its 2013 inception, Hosier INC has been synonymous with the vibrancy and artistic soul of Hosier Lane.  

As an association dedicated to fostering creativity, community, and collaboration, we have been privileged to support this iconic Melbourne space – a canvas for street art, a magnet for cultural exchange, and a landmark loved by locals and visitors alike.

In recent times, Hosier Lane has seen its share of challenges, from safety concerns to disrespect for the art and the space itself. These issues have threatened to overshadow the essence of what makes Hosier Lane truly special: its ability to bring people together and inspire happiness and awe with its ever-evolving creativity.

So, with no further delay, Hosier INC is stepping back into the fray with renewed energy and purpose. Our mission is clear: to reinvigorate Hosier Lane, restore its reputation as a haven for artistic expression, and ensure it remains a safe and inclusive space for all.

The first step in this journey is to reconnect with the community. We’re calling on residents, businesses, artists and visitors who share our vision to join us in this revival.  Collaboration lies at the heart of Hosier INC’s philosophy, and we believe that by working together, we can tackle challenges, celebrate creativity, and foster a sense of respect and collaboration among everyone who visits or contributes to this space.

Safety is the cornerstone of our efforts – a vibrant creative space can only thrive when everyone feels welcome and secure. Whether it is implementing better lighting, increasing accessibility, or simply encouraging mutual respect, we are committed to creating an environment that reflects the values of Hosier Lane’s diverse community.

Lastly, we want to encourage a culture of respect – not just for the art itself, but for the artists, the history of the lane and the community that calls this place home. Hosier Lane isn’t just a destination; it’s a living, breathing expression of Melbourne’s creative heart. By respecting this space and each other we can ensure its legacy endures for generations.

As Hosier INC embarks on this exciting new chapter, we invite you to be part of it.  Whether you are an artist with a vision, a neighbour with ideas, or a visitor who wants to support our mission, there is a place for you in this journey.  

Let’s bring Hosier Lane back to life – together.

Hosier INC will be writing a regular column for CBD News this year, giving Hosier Lane updates about events, and projects happening in the laneway.
