Melbourne’s White Night Wants You For 2015

White Night Melbourne will return in February 2015 and City of Melbourne wants your contribution.

From 9pm Saturday 21 February to 7am Sunday 22 February, Melbourne’s
city streets, cultural institutions, public spaces, gardens, buildings and laneways become works of art bathed in light.

The Minister for Tourism and Major Events Louise Asher is inviting expressions of interest from performers, artists, businesses and organisations to participate in the 2015 event. “In two short years, White Night Melbourne has staked its place as a significant major cultural event in Australia,” she said. “The event has already delivered a strong result for tourism, economic return for city traders and hoteliers and has provided an opportunity for the local and international creative community. White Night Melbourne is an excellent opportunity for artists, businesses and the community and I encourage all to get involved.”

Artistic Director Andrew Walsh commented, “The third iteration of White Night Melbourne will be a celebration of Melbourne’s artistic links to the world. The combined talents of local and international artists will transform our city into a magical experience for all to behold, as we continue to create a ‘night like no other’. White Night Melbourne has quickly become a key event on the Victorian Major Events calendar, as a must do experience and whole city celebration. We are excited to announce the commencement of the expression of interest process, where we encourage all artists, designers, performers, as well as businesses and venues, to submit works and ideas for programming in the 2015 event.

White Night Melbourne invites expressions of interest from performers, artists, businesses and organisations wanting to participate in White Night Melbourne 2015, with full details at www.whitenightmelbourne.com.au.
