JOIN US AT GEELONG DESIGN WEEK

The Avant Garden is an independent creative site, fertile and experimental with a focus on interdisciplinary collaboration and best practice approaches to art, design, culture, environmental sustainability and healthy communities.

The exhibition showcases initial production designs where audiences are invited to interact with the Augmented Reality (AR) structure and see progress to date. Audiences can feedback their ideas and have input into the design of the Avant Garden.

Please note: This event runs from Tuesday 15 March – Friday 5 April 2022. For tickets outside of Geelong Design Week, please contact The National Wool Museum.
