La PasseggARTa coined from the Italian custom of passeggiata (taking a stroll) is an award-winning place-based and project-driven arts organisation.
Our tagline – bringing art and people to the streets signifies a focused approach that promotes participatory creative practice and collaborations to deliver arts-based activations, events and projects in the public sphere.
Celebrated and recognised by Mainstreet Australia for our innovative, inclusive and expansive responses La PasseggARTa positions its artists and creatives at the heart of placemaking to achieve sustainable social, cultural, economic, civic and environmental outcomes.
We reach new audiences, bridge social and cultural divides and transform the ordinary into the phenomenal.
Engage us for your next festival, community project or street activation, we promise to deliver creativity, colour, energy and originality!
In my capacity as Creative Director of the 2018 Flemington-Kensington Rotary Festival of Arts and Ideas I engaged Vincenza, a well-known and very experienced community artist to participate in our Arts Hub program of events during the month-long Festival.
With a deep understanding of how effective and inclusive engagement in the arts benefits the individual and the community as a whole, Vincenza more than lived up to her reputation as an arts provider who delivers well organised, well timed, effective, and inclusive community arts activities.
The outcomes of these activities were praised for both their artistic merits and community benefits.

What a blessing it was to meet you and thank you so much for your support and positivity. You are so beautiful inside and out.
Loved everything you did and the way you and your team were so adaptable.
Love to have you again next year and hope to work with you more.

Thanks for the experience.
I enjoyed the process and insight into preparing for an exhibition.
I have also made a new friend who is like minded and very interested in photography. Someone local who I can bounce ideas off and hopefully share photographic experiences with in the future.
This is the best outcome out of the process for me

Thank you for providing a wonderful creative space for children to explore their imagination.
The facilitating artists were fantastic, assisting the children when needed. My son spent over half an hour with you and I would say it was the best activity tent at the Festival. It was a lovely thing to watch!

La Passeggarta has been a great opportunity for me to become part of the local community; I really appreciate being able to participate & also to thank you & the others involved in all the hard work that you did in organising the exhibition.
