BARI Festival 2014

Overview

If there’s one local art festival worth getting on board with in Brisbane, it’s this one. The Brisbane Artist Run Initiatives Festival's founding premise alone should have every art appreciator's attention — it’s all about exchanging ideas, exploring arts practice and bringing together some of this city’s best artists with some equally as great creative spaces.

Some of our favourite galleries who consistently dose up Brisbane with the best artistic goods — like The Hold Artspace, Jugglers and Boxcopy — will be playing host to the festival's events. As far as artists go, you can catch Frank and Mimi, the talented duo who long ago surpassed the label of simple sign-writers to become one of Brisbane’s most recognised creative teams, painting up Newstead Brewing Company from 5pm on Thursday, October 9.

Live graffiti comp Scribble Slam will kick off at Kerbside on October 16, and Lost Movements IX will be rounding up the festival on October 18. There’s plenty more in store and worth checking out. Have a look at the full program.
