Geelong City Projection Program EOI 2022 - 2023

The City of Greater Geelong is seeking to engage a suitably qualified, experienced and enthusiastic artist or creative team to produce a curated projection program for Geelong as part of its larger public art program. The successful artist or creative team will create, curate or commission content for presentation across three potential sites in the Geelong CBD, including the City Hall location which can accommodate sound.

The successful artist or creative team will have the opportunity to develop a program for a 2-year period from 2022 – 2024. The scope of work will include:

• development of a curatorial vision for the commissioning of new works; 
• re-imaging the City’s current program of annual cultural events; 
• project management; and 
• liaising with contractors for projection maintenance.  

The City welcomes a range of approaches from individuals or teams with expertise directly and through their  professional networks in projection art, special-effects, community/ cultural engagement, writing, sound & music and other key aspects of technical production.

The total budget per year for this project is $100,000 (+ GST) which includes a notional budget allocation of $30,000 (+ GST) for the Christmas 2022 projection outcome.
