Kylie: a free exhibition goes online!

18 Aug 2005
Kylie, the blockbuster exhibition, now has its own online gallery on the Arts Centre’s website and can be viewed for free via www.theartscentre.net.au.
This major new initiative by the Arts Centre’s Performing Arts Collection contains images of all costumes displayed during the Melbourne exhibition with information, captions and images of Kylie. The Collection can be navigated via themed area, designer, year and even colour of costume!

The website contains a news section where fans can keep up to date with the latest Kylie Collection happenings, including new tour venues and the latest costume donations made by Kylie. Fans can also view videos of Kylie visiting the collection and backstage in concert.

The Arts Centre’s Chief Executive, Tim Jacobs says “With an acclaimed touring exhibition, a major published catalogue and now a leading edge online presence, the Kylie Minogue Collection has set a new benchmark for the Arts Centre. It provides a great foundation for our new Icon Series of performing arts exhibitions celebrating other great performers, beginning in late 2006. It also enables more people to access the performing arts and discover what the Arts Centre does.”

Kylie exhibition curator, Janine Barrand says “Kylie has fans all over the world so it was very important for us to have the Kylie Minogue Collection online so everyone can enjoy it. This project forms part of a much wider initiative aimed at getting as much of the Performing Arts Collection online as possible.”

Website design company David Trewern Design, www.dtdesign.com, was contracted to produce the online gallery for the Arts Centre.

The Arts Centre will continue to add more items from the Kylie Collection online so fans are encouraged to return to the site to check out the latest or sign up for the Arts Centre’s eNews for updates.
