Knox will transform into an interactive celebration of the arts with Immerse happening between 28 June and 28 July 2024. The month-long event will feature a range of evening projections, interactive pop-up events, and surprising performances for all our community to attend. 

With over 40 different offerings across 25 different locations in Knox, there is something for everyone. You can join one of the programmed Public Art Bus Tours, or Water and Light, a family friendly light show celebrating the beauty of our local environment at Ferntree Gully’s own Quarry Reserve, as well as choreographed performances, light box galleries, and more.

The event aims to break away from the traditional ‘art gallery’ setting and to share and celebrate art in unexpected places, encouraging us to experience creativity in our everyday spaces. So, rug up, grab your friends and join us for a magical month of art. To view the full program, visit Immerse 2024, and stay up to date on our socials @knoximmerse.
