Step across the threshold of you.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are so thrilled to be presenting <em>1000 Doors<\/em> in the heart of Ballarat. Particularly when countless doors were originally sourced here. It\u2019s like these doors have been on this extraordinary journey and led us back here to Ballarat.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>City of Ballarat mayor Cr Daniel Moloney said the project will not only thrill locals but attract tourists.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>1000 Doors<\/em> is no doubt going to have people flocking to experience what will be a truly sensory experience, and I particularly love the fact it will help activate the CBD just after the ice rink moves out, so we will still have plenty of people moving around our city centre,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Ballarat Regional Tourism chair Paul Martino said this support from Regional Development Victoria is lifting the area\u2019s economy up.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe <em>1000 Doors<\/em> activation will drive an increased awareness of experiences in the Ballarat region, encouraging local artist engagement and capitalising on new, innovative technologies and artistic mediums that are accessible and inclusive to a diverse audience,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Local musicians, sound producers and artists are sought to contribute audio which will accompany the maze.<\/p>\n<p><em>1000 Doors<\/em> was a sell-out success at the Melbourne International Arts Festival, Brisbane Festival, and Adelaide Fringe Festival. Wagstaff and Courtney also designed MONA Hobart\u2019s <em>House of Mirrors<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>The exhibit will open on Wednesday, 4 August, running for just over a month.
