Experience Gold Coast has announced the appointment of acclaimed Australian artist, Michael Zavros, as Guest Artistic Director for the 2025 edition of the Gold Coast’s contemporary arts festival, Bleach.

“I’m so excited to join Bleach Festival for 2025,” Zavros said. “In many ways the Gold Coast made me the artist that I am today; when I was growing up there were no festivals like Bleach. I’m honoured to curate a festival that will surprise and inspire audiences and foster the creative talent that exists on the Gold Coast.”
