NewActon
Art, Not Apart IV
The festival without boundaries will go deeper into the light and dark sides of the arts. Art, Not Apart brings together a wide spectrum of artists from all backgrounds. Musicians, poets, painters, sculptors, dancers, filmmakers, street artists, weavers and all walks of life gather in beautiful spaces to talk and wander.
Share lunch, have a dance, ask about an artwork or lounge beside a stage of unique and sublime performers. It's a day in the laneway, courtyard and gardens of NewActon, and then a more sinister night on the street and basement of Nishi.
Art, Not Apart is currently being revised to expand into new spaces with new artists. If you're interested in being involved, please email chloe(at)newacton.com.au. Details and a video of the 2013 festival are here.
Venue: NewActon Precinct, Cnr Marcus Clarke St & Edinburgh Ave Canberra ACT 2601
Time: 12-6pm plus the Sound and Fury after party
Cost: Free, open to everyone
