Huge news! 🚗✨ We’re thrilled to announce that Victorian Automotive Chamber of Commerce (VACC) is donating an incredible $100,000 towards a life-sized statue of Alice Anderson!

Founded in 1918 (just one year before Alice opened her Kew Garage), VACC has been supporting Victoria’s automotive industry for over a century! VACC’s support as the project’s Foundation Donor is a powerful endorsement from the automotive industry itself and a defining milestone for bringing our landmark project to life.

A massive thank you to VACC!

And thank you to everyone who has supported the project to celebrate Alice’s legacy through a beautiful public artwork❤️!

An extraordinary piece of Victorian history, hiding in plain sight 🏛️✨ Watch this video to discover the remarkable story of how Tina uncovered Alice Anderson's Garage — the original Art Deco garage designed and built by Alice Anderson herself in 1919! For decades, people believed the garage had been demolished, yet it has been there all along.

Even more incredibly, the building is still used daily for hands-on trade work and maintenance, continuing the practical spirit Alice created over 100 years ago.

It also raises a fascinating question: are there any other early 20th-century industrial buildings in Victoria designed by a woman?

Thanks Mandy Turner for filming us.

✨ THANK YOU ✨A huge thank you to our incredible 70 individual donors who have donated more than $33,000 to the Australian Cultural Fund towards the Alice Anderson statue! 💛

With 50 days left in our fundraising campaign, we’re so grateful to everyone who has believed in this project and contributed so generously to bringing it to life.

What started as an idea has grown into a community movement and soon a beautiful public sculpture we can all be proud of. ✨

The Alice Anderson statue will celebrate a legacy of innovation, entrepreneurship, courage and breaking barriers for women everywhere!
