A DISUED former Dimmeys and Target building in central Geelong will turn into an arts hub for two months.
Stephanie Tribe, of arts collective Sub-ari, said the group hoped to create a large-scale art exhibition spanning three floors.
“We’re looking for installation artists who need a bit of space for their works,” Ms Tribe said, “the kinds of installations might include something like a series of film projections on the walls or interactive sound art that changes as you walk through the building.”
Ms Tribe said owners had handed over the vacant building to the artists of Geelong so they could bring additional life and activity to the central city area.
“It will also create a platform for local artists and some of the artists exhibiting in other projects like Illumination might also be in this.”
Ms Tribe said the project would include a series of art workshops for the public, with the works included in the exhibition.
Ms Tribe urged interested artists to apply before August 1 by phoning Sub-ari on 07488 066 628, emailing stephanie@sub-ari.com or visiting www.sub-ari.com.
