12–27 September 2026

The Georgette 150th is part of Margaret River Region Open Studios 2026 — a region-wide open studios event across the Margaret River, Augusta, and Busselton areas each September.

The exhibition is open daily from 10am to 5pm across the full sixteen-day run. Last entry to the Cubarama and Captain Godfrey AI installations is 4:30pm. Drift and wall-hung prints are accessible throughout opening hours.

Admission is free.

Getting here

The exhibition is located in the Margaret River region of Western Australia, approximately three hours south of Perth by car. Venue address and detailed directions will be confirmed and published here closer to the opening date.

Margaret River township is the nearest service centre — fuel, food, and accommodation are readily available. The exhibition venue has free on-site parking.

What to expect

The exhibition includes three immersive installations and a gallery of wall-hung photographic prints.

Cubarama — the 360° video room — runs as a continuous loop. No booking required. Visitors may enter and exit freely, though numbers inside the room are limited at any one time.

Captain Godfrey AI — the interactive MetaHuman installation — is a one-to-one experience. Each conversation takes between five and fifteen minutes depending on the visitor. A small waiting area is provided outside the installation space.

Drift — the Kinect-driven interactive display — is open access throughout the day. No booking required.

Wall-hung prints from the Calgardup Bay, Redgate Beach, and Isaac Rock series are displayed in the main gallery space and available for purchase at the exhibition or via this website.

Public talk — Marcia van Zeller

Author and researcher Marcia van Zeller will give a public talk during the first week of the exhibition. Van Zeller spent years researching the Georgette wreck for her doctoral novel Cruel Capes (Curtin University, 2014) — the first long-form adult narrative about the incident, and the research foundation for the Captain Godfrey AI installation.

The talk is free. Date and time to be confirmed.

Accessibility

The exhibition venue is wheelchair accessible. The Cubarama installation is accessible to wheelchair users — the projected environment requires no physical movement. The Drift installation uses a Kinect sensor and responds to a range of movement types; visitors with limited mobility are welcome and the system can be adjusted by gallery staff. Wall-hung prints and the Captain Godfrey AI installation are both fully accessible.
