BLEACH* 2025

BLEACH* 2025 returns with 11 unforgettable days of art, music, visual spectacle, opera, drama, storytelling, and feasting — all set across three vibrant festival hubs: Kurrawa Park, Emerald Lakes, and HOTA.

Under the creative direction of acclaimed artist Michael Zavros, this year’s program reflects his distinctive visual arts practice, bringing a bold, immersive vision to the festival.

In 2025, BLEACH* celebrates the rich diversity of our international and multicultural city. The festival will feature landmark works by leading national and international artists, while proudly spotlighting the voices and talents of local creatives.

Curated to engage a broad audience, BLEACH* 2025 is set to attract locals, as well as visitors from across Queensland, interstate, and around the world — making it a cultural experience not to be missed.
