With the euphoric human-sized ‘Kaleidoscope’ – a new work by renowned installation artist Keith Courtney – arriving in Geelong this month, the City has announced a whole new initiative to complement the experience and get people exploring central Geelong before or after they step inside the hall of rotating mirrors, light and sound.
Keep up with the latest in local news and entertainment here.
Working with local businesses, Kick On in Geelong is packed with discounted offers and special deals to enhance visitors’ experience in central Geelong while saving them money.

Alongside all the discounts, visitors can also check out Fragments of Geelong which is running across three locations in Little Malop Central.
The City, Creative Geelong and Geelong projection artist Matt Bonner have developed a multimedia installation where community members can peer inside viewing portals to experience local imagery under a colourful lens.
The first location focuses on Geelong’s city heart and explores the dynamic energy of the city, while the second presents a series of symbolic and abstract images that encourages viewers to reflect. The third window showcases trees, flowers and water and transports viewers to a peaceful, natural setting.
Community members can also visit an artistic display at the vacant former Speaky’s building, which will include projections created using shapes, reflective surfaces, colour and light.
A window display from Geelong artist Eden Ariston plays with silver and mirrored features to symbolise self-reflection and the individual nature of reality. Using a stained-glass style colour palette, Eden pairs modern elements with native flora to incorporate the natural environment that inspires her work, with nods to Johnstone Park and central Geelong.
