After a hugely successful launch of their commissioning project for young LGBTIQA+ composers in 2021 – Compose Queer – the young Divisi Chamber Singers have attracted glowing reviews and have been awarded major prizes from the ABC and Creative Victoria. The commissioned music is ground-breaking, and highlights some of the best young LGBTIQA+ Australian composers. This has resulted in their debut album, Spectrum, titled after Sally Whitwell's featured song cycle, as a testament to the diverse spectrum of local LGBTIQA+ talent involved in the creation and performance of this new music. Celebrate the launch of their debut album, of this vibrant Compose Queer music, coming from diverse corners of our wonderful LGBTIQA+ community. With works by Sally Whitwell, Robert McIntyre, Meta Cohen, Ariel Bonnell and Caerwen Martin. Plus, the premiere of Meta Cohen's ABC Composer Commission Grant work, written specifically for the Divisi Chamber Singers and the ABC.

“Geelong Design Week is a 10-day community event celebrating Geelong’s global recognition as Australia’s only UNESCO Creative City of Design.

Geelong Design Week returns 17-27 March, with the theme taur which means ‘belonging’ in the language of the Wadawurrung, Traditional Owners of Djilang (Geelong).

The event will showcase how design can respond to our need to belong, how we are creating places and spaces accessible to all, and how staying connected keeps us safe and promotes a better quality of life. In Wadawurrung language, we are one with our country, we are all connected.“ - ArtsHub

“Lorne Sculpture Biennale is back in 2022 and welcomes audiences new and old to return to Lorne for Victoria’s largest outdoor exhibition.

The theme ‘Spirit of Place’ reflects a new curatorial model that has asked artists to develop works specifically related to not just site, but PLACE. Diverse sculptural and performance works responding to the unique beauty of Lorne and the Otways will open your eyes to the mysteries, histories, the sometimes harsh and stunningly beautiful landscape of waterfalls, mountains, sand and sea.

A supporting program of events will feature some of the best and brightest artists, musicians, dancers, poets and performers offering a series of free and ticketed performances, workshops and talks.” - ArtsHub
