About us
We curate, support and present a diverse range of music, theatre, comedy and dance performances, as well as important cultural and arts practice dialogue, workshops, developments, community experiences and free public activations. Our work seeks to welcome every person in our community to engage, learn and express their creativity, making art a universal experience.
Geelong Arts Centre is the cultural heartbeat of Victoria’s second-largest city. Established in 1981 as a Victorian Government statutory agency, we have evolved into Australia’s largest dedicated regional performing arts complex. A landmark $140 million redevelopment, completed in August 2023, quadrupled public space, installed world-class staging, lighting and acoustic systems, and created fully accessible foyers that link the historic Ryrie Street building with a striking new Little Malop Street façade designed in consultation with Wadawurrung Traditional Owners.
The campus now comprises four distinct performance venues supported by rehearsal studios, exhibition foyers and meeting and event spaces. Additional creative spaces include purpose-built rehearsal rooms, creative workspaces, and a range of hospitality areas including Tutti, our in-house café and restaurant which serves both the general public enjoying the precinct and our audiences pre-show.
Geelong Arts Centre curates a year-round season that pairs national and international touring productions with locally produced work. The Centre also commissions and co-produces work with producers from across the country. Core strands span mainstage theatre, contemporary dance, classical and popular music, children’s and family programming, First Nations storytelling and multidisciplinary festivals. A large number of community events perform annually including schools and community ensembles alongside commercial promoters and touring artists.
Geelong Arts Centre is supported by a strong and growing philanthropic and corporate community who champion our work for and by the community. Community engagement and lifelong learning are embedded in our Creative Learning program which partners with educators from kindergarten to Year 12, offering curriculum-aligned performances, artist workshops and teacher resources. Creative Engine, the Centre’s industry development hub,allocates seed funding, rehearsal space, mentoring and networking to emerging artists, sustaining a vibrant regional talent pipeline.
Access programs including Auslan-interpreted shows, relaxed performances, sensory-friendly matinees and ticket subsidies ensure that people of all ages, abilities and backgrounds feel welcome
