<h2>Celebrate the launch of The Knot with live entertainment and giveaways!</h2>
This winter, the heart of the city will be lit up in pink as The Knot takes centre-stage at Fed Square. To celebrate the launch of French artist Cyril Lancelin&#8217;s enormous, immersive artwork, join us on Thursday 15 July for all the fun – and be one of the first to experience this larger-than-life artwork never-before-seen in Australia!
From 4.30pm, roving acoustic trio Oui Papa will be in the Square. You&#8217;ll swear you&#8217;re on the French Riviera or walking by the Seine in Paris as they woo you with their sweet sax-suspenders-and-piano-accordion vibes.
From 4.30pm you&#8217;ll also be able to score yourself a free &#8216;La Riz en Rose&#8217; from atiyah – but there&#8217;s a catch! You need to snap a pic of The Knot (you&#8217;ll be taking plenty, don&#8217;t worry!), tag #FedSquare on the socials and show them your pic to get your free delicious rosewater rice pudding dessert. Yum! But be quick, they&#8217;re only available for the first 50 people.
At 6.30pm, DJ Chloe Wilson will be taking over on the decks, completing your sensory experience of The Knot.
See you there, at the Square!

Anything But Square Winter

<h2>Become delightfully entangled in an art experience like no other.</h2>
Taking centre-stage at Fed Square this winter is a bold, large-scale, immersive artwork, never before seen in Australia from French artist Cyril Lancelin – The Knot.
The Knot is based on a knitting node or trefoil knot, with several nodes juxtaposed and connected by a continuous line. The immersive installation is designed to both fill a space and divide it into different sections, becoming a maze of passages that invite you to bend down, step over, and weave through to get around.
As you experience this artwork, you also become part of it as your movements diverge and intersect with those of others.
Each evening The Knot will be illuminated as it lights up our chilly winter nights.
We invite you to become delightfully entangled in The Knot!

The Knot

<h2>Due to ongoing stay-at-home restrictions, Frenchy Weekends has now been cancelled. The Knot will be staying at Fed Square until September 19, so we look forward to sharing Cyril Lancelin&#8217;s incredible, immersive sculpture with you all when we return.</h2>
Celebrate all things French this winter with live music, Frenchy Fed Free Workshops, giveaways and French films!
As winter darkens our nights and The Knot lights up the Square in a pink hazy glow, we invite you to experience the essence of the French notion of joir de vivre!
Every weekend Fed Square will be effervescing with fun and French-themed activity:
<ul>
<li>Experience live music from bands or DJs each night, playing everything from classic French tunes to banging French electronica.</li>
<li>Attend a Mimosas and Monet or Beers and Brushes art class.</li>
<li>Learn how to host a French party – escargot anyone?</li>
<li>Score some free giveaways, like delicious Posh Brioche or a pink parapluie!</li>
<li>Watch a classic French film, curated by our friends at <a href="https://www.afmelbourne.com.au/">Alliance Française de Melbourne</a>.</li>
</ul>
So bring your favourite Francophile, your bestie or your beau, and head down to Fed Square for Frenchy Weekends!
Free blankets are also available at each film screening for a gold coin donation – all proceeds will go to the <a href="https://www.sacredheartmission.org/">Sacred Heart Mission</a> – so you&#8217;ll stay toasty warm in a comfortable deckchair.
Check out the full program below.
