Enjoy Geraldton annual Art Drive for 2017 with the help of this App. Learn about the artists and the inspiration behind their creations.
For the past few months, artists and community groups have been working in secret to create some truly phenomenal art installations that reflect farm life, wildflowers or Aboriginal culture in the Midwest. Their hard work has come together to form this incredible self-drive tour that you are about to embark on.
What is ArtDrive?
ArtDrive is a self-drive art tour that takes explorers on a colourful journey throughout the Midwest. There are 20 different art installations along the route, with each one centred around the theme ‘old is new again’.
When does the project run?
ArtDrive will be officially launched on 30 July and will run until 30 October 2017.
How long is the drive?
The self drive tour is 270kms and takes about five hours if you travel at a leisurely pace, pause for several minutes to enjoy each art installation and stop for a picnic or pub lunch along the way.
Where can I get food?
