Overview

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. With each year a different story, it's bound to be a new experience each time.

'Illuminate' is the theme and illuminate they will. Artists include Melbourne-based video artist Alesh Macak; Amanda Morgan, who is exploring the relationship between the material and immaterial; and Yandell Walton, who will look at our emotional responses to our world.

The Festival Hub, upstairs at Brown Couch, will house events made to complement the festival, from musicians to workshops to panel forums. Gertrude Street Projection Festival is one of those beautiful moments where participating in art consists of simply standing in the street and looking up.
