Overview

Newcastle’s genre-busting This Is Not Art festival (better known to its friends as TiNA) is all grown up. And to mark its 18th birthday, the city is gearing up for a massive long weekend. More than 150 events will be serving up fun, creativity, inspiration, innovation and surprise, incorporating art, theatre, dance, sound, words, mixed media and experimental performance. The event draws together four happenings: the National Young Writers Festival, Critical Animals, Crack Theatre Festival and, for the first time ever, Ladyz in Noyz Australia.

Take a late-night trolley ride around Newcastle East, hearing stories, watching performances and, quite possibly, meeting ghosts, with Asian Ghost-ery Store. Throw on a lab coat and take control of an alien research facility to investigate the mysteries of human reproduction with PressOne4Love. Get lost in an installation that reimagines J.M. Barrie’s Neverland for the late ‘90s. Give your creative fitness an hour-long work out at the therapeutic, invigorating ART FIT.

Discover another 146+ events at the festival website.
