The creative heart of the city’s design scene will feature as part of Geelong Design Week in an open door event.
Nearly 20 of the diverse creative businesses that make up the Rutland Street Design Hub will open their doors to showcase their processes and products on Thursday, November 28.
Between 3.30pm and 7.30pm the community’s designers, artists and makers will invite members of the public to meet them and explore what they do in an event designed to inspire.
Businesses such as BLT Jewellery and luxury preloved fashion Cercle Lifestyle will show off their wares, while people can engage in classes and workshops at Blink Dance Theatre and We Made.
Executive director of Placemaking Tennille Bradley said the City was proud to bring together designers, creatives and the broader community for an event that supported the arts scene and local economy.
“The Rutland Street Design Hub is your destination to discover, connect, and celebrate Geelong’s vibrant design community,” Ms Bradley said.
“With such talent, creativity, and craftsmanship on display, community members will find one-of-a-kind products, see first-hand how design is harnessed locally and support homegrown businesses.
“The work of these creatives reflects our UNESCO Creative City of Design designation by helping to raise the profile and culture of our region.
“Come visit our flourishing design hub at Rutland Street on Thursday 28 November and get inspired.”
