'Like A Version 2.0' is a new group exhibition from Geelong Illustrators celebrating iconic Women in Art.
International Women’s Day is fast approaching this year. Universally celebrated on March 8, this day is dedicated to promoting equality and celebrating women’s achievements, while also looking at what we can do to continue doing so in the future to help forge a gender-equal world.
Championing a world where difference is valued and celebrated, Geelong Illustrators is helping spread positive International Women’s Day messages across our local community with a new group art exhibition “Like A Version 2.0”.
Stay up to date with what’s happening in and around the region here.
Within this exhibition, the collective of artists from Geelong and surrounds will recreate artworks by well-known women artists, adding their own style and techniques to make it their own.
In 2021, Geelong Illustrators members decided to pay homage to iconic artists with Like A Version; recreating some of the world’s most famous artworks in their own unique styles. Bringing it back for a second round, this year is all about highlighting women in art – women who create change and transform the world one project at a time, using their art to connect with people.
“This year we decided to revisit the theme, with one key difference; all the well-known artists are WOMEN! By coincidence, all the artists in our last Like A Version were by famous male artists, so what better way to change it up by choosing our favourite female artists, and open on International Women’s Day,” says Clare Holder, Geelong Illustrators Manager.
