The Gertrude Association presents
The Gertrude St Projection Festival
3-10 July 2009
A Festival week of projected media along Gertrude St, Fitzroy Melbourne. Viewers can access our free walk, ride, drive - through outdoor gallery at night to gain insight into our dreams, fantasies and aspirations.
Launch party Friday 3 July at 7.00pm. The program runs 6.00pm – 11.pm for
a week.
2009 theme: Dream
Each year we set a theme for our community and artists to respond to visually. The festival shows our community and viewers different perspectives on a single issue or theme. Setting a yearly theme achieves our goal to provide an outlet for different views.
Dreams can be anything you imagine. Aspirations and fantasies for peace, safety or possibly for endless rain…
It's all up to you, just deliver your finished entry in digital format as set out below.
Or if you prefer you can visually respond to our quote,
“Regardless of your situation, everyday has a new dawn and
in that dawn there is a new opportunity to start. Seize the energy of
every new day and us it to create your dreams.”
2009 aim Show us your perspective on your dreams.
Screen your dreams! You can create any type of visual art, take a pic with your phone, paint it or animate it.
