Geelong will celebrate local innovation and creativity this October when the City of Greater Geelong launches its fourth annual Design Week.
Featuring over 50 events including exhibitions and workshops, including a live show by Designing a Legacy creator Tim Ross, Geelong Design Week aims to bring together designers, industry leaders and enthusiasts from across the state.
The event runs from October 19 to 29, showcasing the work of local designers and highlighting Geelong’s heritage as a centre of design excellence.
First started in 2019, Geelong Design Week attracted more than 6000 people to both its 2021 and 2022 editions.
Mayor Trent Sullivan said the program had come together through collaboration between designers, makers, the City, businesses, community groups and organisations.
“We are back with an exciting program of events that reflects the region’s clever ideas, creativity and strong desire to create a better future through design,” Mayor Sullivan said.
“This is a chance for the community to support local designers, learn more about our environment, discover unique cultural insights and see the future of education, technology, inventions and innovations.”
Deputy Mayor Anthony Aitken said the quality of this year’s program was outstanding.
“The diverse range of events on offer showcase just how creative and talented Greater Geelong is,” Deputy Mayor Aitken said.
“Geelong Design Week will make space to share clever ideas, explore design thinking, stimulate creativity through talks, tours, workshops and exhibitions and allow community members to peek inside the minds of local designers.”
