smARTarts

Youth Arts & Cultural Festival

2pm - 8pm, Saturday 12th April, 2008

The theme for smARTarts Festival 2008 is SPACE. You too are invited to come and find your artistic SPACE, as the Pine Street Creative Arts Centre & Peace Park opens up to become an artistic and musical haven, where you can get involved.
The afternoon will be abuzz with an eclectic mix of musical talent with live performances from Guava, Raise the Crazy, Lounge Act, Dead Kitten Parade and more! Come and learn a new craft in a free stencil-art workshop, or pick up a brush and leave your mark on the mural, or even pick up Rap Writing with indigenous MC JR. Young emerging designers & artists will have their wares on show at the Design-Art Markets. Get a taste of youth culture at the Zine Fair and other stalls, which will be manned by young creative’s. You can also attend the yourSPACE forum if you are keen to pick up creative career tips, with speakers including author Pauline Nguyen.
Alongside the entertainment, the ArtSPACE Exhibition will expose the work of contemporary local artists across a range of media from oil on canvas to mixed media, to photography, drawing & sculpture. smARTarts Youth Arts and Cultural Festival 2008 invites you to explore your creative SPACE!
