30 Years
of Platform Arts
22 OCT—12 DEC For three decades, Platform Arts has been part of Geelong’s creative life: a place where artists have gathered, ideas have been tested, careers have begun, and audiences have encountered something unexpected.

Since its beginnings as the Courthouse Project in 1996, and through its evolution as Courthouse Arts and Courthouse Youth Arts, the organisation now known as Platform Arts has grown in close relationship with the local arts community, shaped by the people, practices, and stories that have passed through its doors.

In 2026, Platform Arts celebrates 30 years of activity. From October to December, our special anniversary program will reflect the energy, experimentation, care, and creativity that have defined the organisation across three decades.
