Everyone is open to welcome you to Geelong After Dark.
We love that our town has been redefined as an arts and culture capital. As Australia’s only designated UNESCO City of Design, Geelong After Dark contributes to our mission of placing art at the heart of all we do.
But we don’t do it alone – our cultural venues turn on lights, throw open doors and invite you to be a part of it all.
Geelong Performing Arts Centre; Geelong Library & Heritage Centre; Geelong Gallery; Back to Back Theatre; Courthouse Youth Arts and the National Wool Museum join Westfield Geelong and Market Square in the Amazing Arts Adventure, a race around Geelong to solve the art clues on the card. Once all clues at all venues have been solved, you can drop the card off at any of the participating venues to go into the draw for some Amazing Prizes, courtesy of our venues.
Westfield: a $50 Westfield Voucher and a $50 Australian Geographic voucher
Market Square: 2 x gift packs ($50 gift voucher and 4 tickets Village Cinemas
