Overview
In the long and lucrative tradition of bringing artists together with merriment and free flowing alcohol, Tiger Beer is hosting the seventh Tiger Translate this week. Specifically designed to encourage up-and-coming artists, Tiger Translate is a global initiative that runs in places as various as New York, Mongolia, Dubai, Berlin and Beijing, giving local artists an opportunity to have their work exhibited on a global platform.
This year's central theme is 'Growth', and Brisbane-based artist Matt Stewart took out the award for showcase artists with the work featured above. He and another seven artists who made the finals will all be featured in the global Tiger Translate showcase, which kicks off with a bang on Wednesday in Sydney. The celebration will be soundtracked by live music from Dark Horse and DJ Bambalam, and live art collaborations will be going down featuring Beastman, Numskull, Creepy, Phibs and Matt Stewart, this year's showcase artist. Moreover, given that the event is sponsored by Tiger, the chances that there will be a proliferation of beer in easy access of your mouth are extremely good.
The party is going down on Wednesday, November 23 from 7pm at Sun Studios in Alexandria, and happily enough, we have ten double passes on our hands to give away. So if you fancy a night of art and music, just make sure you're subscribed and then hit us up at hello@concreteplayground.com.au.
