About Geelong ArtSHOw

“Our vision is to firmly establish The Geelong Art Show as an integral part of the vibrant art scene in Geelong. Making a meaningful impact on the community in three key ways”

Empowering Local Artists

The Geelong Art Show opens its doors to Artists in Geelong and across Victoria, offering a unique platform to showcase their creativity. In 2024, we're introducing an additional category, with plans for more in the coming years as space and infrastructure allow. Our goal is to provide a dynamic stage for talented artists statewide, fostering a community that celebrates and supports their incredible artwork. Together, let's build an inclusive space where artistic expression thrives, and creativity knows no bounds.

Engaging the Local Community

The Geelong Art Show stands as a unique and singular event within the City of Greater Geelong, offering a rare opportunity for the local community and beyond to appreciate and acquire remarkable masterpieces crafted by our talented local artists. Open to the public on Saturday from 10 am to 5 pm and Sunday from 10 am to 4 pm, this exceptional showcase ensures a diverse array of artistic expressions.

Supporting Australian Charities

The Geelong Art Show extends beyond the artistic expression. It is a catalyst for positive change. All surplus funds generated from the event will be directed towards Australian charities each year dedicated to supporting the local community. Collaboratively we will forge an enduring legacy marked by artistic brilliance intertwined with community support.

2025 RECIPIENT: LITTLE DREAMERS

Australia’s leading Young Carer organisation, supporting young people who provide unpaid care for a family member affected by disability, chronic or mental illness, substance use or frail age, in VIC, NSW and QLD. Since launching in 2009, they've become a game changing force in the Young Carer space, developing internationally recognised best practice programs and changing the lives of thousands of Young Carers around Australia. Across a range of direct support programs, both in-person and online, we're working to improve the quality of life of Young Carers across five key areas of risk: education, employment, mental and physical health, social wellbeing and financial literacy.
