2023 Creative Direction; Vivid Sydney, Naturally
Fuelling our imagination, nature has long been a source of creativity. Creatives imitate the design patterns of nature, writers describe its beauty and scientists try to solve its mysteries. It teaches us, soothes and heals us — helps us to be optimistic and remain open to the unknown. Nature evokes awe, emotion and hope — makes us strive to be better, embrace diversity and think differently.
Through nature we connect with our inner selves and find kindred souls. We gain an understanding of our place in the world and the importance of protecting it. Through nature we discover creativity, inspiration and understanding. Nature provides a sense of discovery, a celebration of authenticity, an invitation to connect, a chance to create… experiences we can share at Vivid Sydney.
Through light, music, ideas and food, we invite you to be part of this truly universal experience that strives to change hearts and minds, to honour difference and to protect our world – Vivid Sydney.
Natural beauty, natural brilliance, natural wonder.
Vivid Sydney, naturally.
