Three artworks are due to be unveiled later this year and will be installed along the walkway between the Bendigo Bank forecourt and the Telstra exchange building on Short Street.
The City of Greater Bendigo announced on Thursday that the artists Drew Berick and Troy Firebrace will lead the project.
"Troy and Drew have developed initial concepts and we are looking forward to seeing their artwork come to life over the next six months," Dja Dja Wurrung chief executive Rodney Carter said.
Other news:
"The development of the augmented reality artworks will start this week and the artists will lead 16 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students to create drawings that will be converted to 3D artworks.
"This is a technically challenging project that wouldn't be possible without a diverse project team.
"We're thrilled that renowned Indigenous edutech company Indigital will be in Bendigo and that specialist education and technical partners Bendigo Tech School and ACMI will be on hand to create the Six Seasons' artworks."
It is expected the works will be on display for at least three years.
