This unique gallery turns a busy city street into an open-air exhibition, breaking down barriers and reaching audiences who might not step into traditional galleries. Whether you're an artist looking to showcase your work or a passerby discovering something new, the Yarra Street Window Gallery is a vibrant celebration of local talent.
The current display features a dynamic mix of mediums, from video animation and film photography to printmaking, enamel spray can art, and acrylic on canvas. Visitors can also experience intricate mixed media installations crafted from clay, plaster, felt, wood, and wire, alongside striking works that incorporate repurposed marine debris woven into sculpture, plaster and pigment on board, and oil on linen. This ever-evolving exhibition celebrates the depth of creativity that defines our region.

As a vibrant addition to Geelong’s identity as a UNESCO City of Design, the Yarra Street Window Gallery brings creativity to the forefront, supporting our 30-year vision to be an internationally recognised clever and creative city-region.
We’re inviting emerging and established artists and designers from Greater Geelong—or those with strong local connections—to apply for the opportunity to showcase their artwork over the next 12 months.
The gallery embraces a wide range of visual arts and design, including First Nations art, painting, sculpture, film, animation, photography, fashion, lighting design, furniture design, and ceramics. If you have a bold idea or a unique creative perspective, we’d love to hear from you!
It is free to exhibit, and selected artists will be paid a fee of $500 to show their work.
