Rutledge Lane

This guide to Rutledge Lane in Melbourne centers on one morning in August 2013, when artist Adrian Doyle, working with the City of Melbourne and RMIT, painted over years of stencils and tags in a single flat coat of sky blue and called it Empty Nursery Blue. You'll hear how the street art community reacted, and how the lane responded in the weeks and months that followed. Look closely at the layers on the walls around you, none of which were here yesterday.
