Mayor Trent Sullivan
Geelong Design Week is for everyone, whether you’re an architecture aficionado, fashionista,
sustainability champion or someone with diverse interests and creative
pursuits.
We’ve had great feedback on the Geelong
Design Week events that have been held so far and can guarantee there is
something on offer for everyone in the remaining days of the festival.
From thought-provoking discussions to
interactive workshops and captivating exhibitions, there are many opportunities
for people of all ages to get creative, learn from design leaders and students,
and shift to a design mindset.
Deputy Mayor Anthony Aitken
This year’s
diverse program highlights our notable design heritage as the nation’s first and only UNESCO City of Design as well as local
talent.
The ideas,
collaborations and creative minds of designers, makers, the City, businesses and
organisations have created a unique showcase on how design and creativity
can have community impact.
Enjoy the last days of Geelong Design Week by
immersing yourself in design and creativity.
