Open Day 2026: A Day of Creativity, Connection and Belonging at LCI Melbourne

LCI Melbourne’s Open Day 2026 brought the Collingwood campus to life, giving prospective students and their families a glimpse into the creativity, community and hands-on learning that define the LCI experience. From student-led creative projects and live demonstrations to inspiring alumni stories, the day was a celebration of creativity, connection and belonging.

Saturday's Open Day brought our Collingwood campus to life — and for a few hours, prospective students and their families got to see, touch, and feel what it means to study at LCI Melbourne.

Across every studio and classroom, our students, staff, and mentors had been preparing for weeks to put their best creative foot forward. Visitors got to encounter a live Visual Art mural by an Alumni, filled with student creativity; explored inspiring Interior Design concepts shaped by real project briefs; contributed to a runway garment in Fashion & Costume Design; and were stopped in their tracks by a series of striking Baroque-style portraits — one of the standout moments of the day.

Alongside the studio work, our Welcome to LCI Melbourne and Alumni Q&A sessions gave visitors the chance to hear directly from people who've walked the same path — proof that what happens here doesn't stay on campus, it goes on to shape real careers.

In Adriano's Words

"What struck me most on Saturday wasn't just the finished work on the walls — it was watching prospective students find their own reflection in it. That's the moment belonging starts. It's the moment someone realises this could be their place."

Adriano Di Prato, Executive Director APAC, LCI Melbourne
