Amy Collins

Growing up Amy was told she could be anything she wanted. So naturally wanted to be a rock star. Those feelings were slowly taken over by a love for pen on paper. Or fingers on a Mac if we’re being honest. After reading Tolstoy's War and Peace she also fell in love with a succinct message. A Masters Degree in Global Media Communications preceded stints at PR agencies and communications agencies, leading her to the life of a freelancer. Amy finds it difficult to read anything that doesn’t take full advantage of the oxford comma, thinks shoes should always be bought in two colours, and that a yoga class followed by a glass of wine (or two) is the perfect evening.

Gertrude Street Projection Festival 2013

Fri, 19 Jul - Sun, 28 Jul 2013
Gertrude Street, Fitzroy

In its sixth year, the Gertrude Street Projection Festival is turning Gertrude Street into a hub of creativity, community and, of course, lights for 10 nights starting on July 19. Thirty sites, from buildings to shopfronts to squares on the pavement, will show the length of Gertrude Street in a way you're unlikely to see again.
