MESSAGE FROM THE MAYOR
Cr John Mitchell
Mayor
City of Greater Geelong
The City of Greater Geelong is committed to the arts, and to supporting
our very talented arts and cultural community. The 2010 Arts Directory
is your link to the organisations and individuals who contribute to and
make up the arts community.
Geelong’s commitment is echoed by the G21 region municipalities,
all of which have dedicated arts and culture workers to encourage and
develop the arts throughout the region. All Councils in the G21 region
have funded exciting and diverse arts projects and events through their
individual grants schemes.
The Geelong Future Cities Project and the planned revitalisation of
Geelong’s Cultural Precinct will have a significant impact throughout
the region. The City of Greater Geelong has committed up to $20 million
for a new integrated Geelong Library and Heritage Centre, conditional
on funding commitments from the Federal and State Governments.
This new Library and Heritage Centre will provide enormous benefits
throughout the region which are essential to the cultural, economic
and social vibrancy of the five municipalities which compose the
G21 region. It will provide a civic and community hub for the Cultural
Precinct, which is commencing a State funded $6.5 million upgrade to
the Old Courthouse Building, along with exciting plans for the further
development of the Geelong Performing Arts Centre.
Our tourism industry is also growing as others discover our rich cultural
facilities and special events such as the Lorne Sculpture Exhibition,
National Celtic Festival, NWM’s Scarf Festival, Golden Plains Arts Trail
and the Apollo Bay and Queenscliffe Music Festivals. This increased
tourism has significant flow-on effects to the local economy and
community pride, which can be felt throughout the region.
This Directory provides a great opportunity for us all to contact our
region’s talented artists and arts organisations.
I am pleased to endorse the 2010 Arts Directory on behalf of the
Mayors in the G21 region, and recommend you tap into the creative
minds listed within its pages. You won’t be disappointed.
Cr John Mitchell
Mayor

INTRODUCTION
Kaz Paton
Manager, Arts and Culture
History shows that great art can be created through collaboration.
This is certainly true of arts and culture in the G21 region, which continues
to grow and thrive as arts groups and networks come together to celebrate
the wealth of talent and opportunities that exist within our region.
While the City of Greater Geelong Arts Directory has always featured a range
of artists from the G21 region, it is wonderful that this spirit of partnership has
been formalised in producing this sixth edition of the Arts Directory. Surf Coast,
Borough of Queenscliffe, Colac Otway and Golden Plains have joined the City
of Greater Geelong to build upon this already popular directory of our region’s
impressive pool of artistic talent.
And what a talent pool it is. From artists, writers, musicians and performers,
to galleries, festivals and arts organisations, our region’s depth of creativity is
rich and diverse and our highlights are significant.
Geelong broke new ground on the national arts scene when we launched the
first Australian project in the worldwide interactive story-gathering movement
[murmur], which was part of the three-year Connecting Identities project. Golden
Plains launched the Teesdale Turtle Bend Project, a new outdoor performance
space and community venue surrounded by interactive musical sculptures.
Colac Otway’s performing arts venue COPACC was named a finalist for Best
Presenter in the Australian Performing Arts Centres’ Association Drover Awards.
Surf Coast’s High Tide Festival received a Festival Australia grant to produce
its spectacular Circus – AQUA on the beach. Finally, the Queenscliff Music
Festival earned a nomination for Best Contemporary Music Festival in the
prestigious Helpmann Awards.
And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
Our region’s major cultural facilities, including the Geelong Gallery and
National Wool Museum, continued to attract widespread attention with
a diverse programme of major exhibitions. GPAC re-opened its stunning
new Playhouse theatre after a three month renovation while it, COPACC
and the Potato Shed continued to host diverse theatre seasons featuring
performances from some of Australia’s leading talents. Back to Back and
Courthouse Arts continued to produce extraordinary work.
But our greatest asset is, of course, our arts community. My fellow G21 arts
officers Julie, Leanne, Karen, Tegan and I feel we are blessed to be part of
such a culturally rich community of artists and arts workers. Now they are at
your fingertips.
