neonVisible from the St Kilda Road Terrace, the installation has been extended until 28 January 2019. It was commissioned as part of the Contemporary Art Projects program, which invites artists to enliven the public spaces around Arts Centre Melbourne and the arts precinct. Sing What You Feel is an open invitation to visitors and passers-by to express themselves through song.

The Contemporary Collection comprises donations, commissions, purchases and other works of art acquired by the public art collection after the initial acquisition period of the early 1980s. There is a particular emphasis from late modernism to contemporary art. 

The focus of the Contemporary Collection is to acquire paintings, sculptures, installations, digital works, works on paper and textiles that speak of and to the performing arts and the creativity of performance.

The Collection includes works by artists such as Vernon Ah Kee, Robert Jacks, Anne Zahalka, Jon Campbell, Wendy Sharpe, Natalya Hughes, Clinton Nain and Judy Watson.
