Overview
A longtime winter staple of Melbourne's inner-north, the Gertrude Street Projection Festival returns for its luminous 14th year this month, once again set to light up the area with a program of after-dark art.
Running from Thursday, July 28–Sunday, July 31, presented by the Centre for Projection Art, this year's festival speaks the theme 'A Soft Pulse'. And it's increased its footprint, spilling beyond its usual home of Gertrude Street into the surrounding precincts, and with a new hub at Collingwood Yards.
After dark each night, the festival precinct will come alive with a trail of projection artworks by names like Anna Schwann, Edwina Green, Henry Wolff, Josef Gatti and more, splashed across buildings, footpaths and windows. Rug up and explore them on a self-guided art tour.
Meanwhile, Atherton Gardens will host the opening night festivities on July 28, featuring live performative storytelling by local elders sharing their own pieces of Gertrude Street history.
You'll also catch a series of artist conversations and panel chats at Collingwood Yards, with post-talk drinks at Hope St Radio, and a DJ-fuelled festival block party featuring tunes by General Feeling Sound System.
