Getting in touch with Laneway Notes

Laneway Notes is an independent journal, so the most useful messages are the ones that help us cover Melbourne's laneways, arts precincts and live events more accurately. If you have spotted a new mural on a familiar wall, noticed that a gallery has moved or closed, or want to flag an upcoming exhibition opening in Collingwood, Fitzroy or the CBD, we would like to hear about it.

What to include

  • Corrections: the page or article you are referring to, what needs changing and, where possible, a source we can check, such as a venue's own website or an official listing.
  • Event tips: the name of the event, the venue and its suburb, and where readers can find confirmed dates and ticket details. We always point readers to official sources rather than repeating details that may change.
  • Street art and laneway updates: the laneway name and the nearest cross street. Murals in places like Hosier Lane change often, so a rough date for when you saw the work is helpful.

What we can't help with

We are not a venue, ticket seller or tourism body, so we can't book tables, sell tickets or answer questions on behalf of galleries, theatres or councils. For those, contact the organisation directly. We also don't accept payment for coverage; anything we write about is chosen on its merits.

Before you write, it may be worth browsing our laneways guide or digging through the archive, since your question may already be answered there. Older articles are kept for reference, so if you find one that's out of date, a quick note helps us keep it useful for the next reader exploring the city.
