Art & About 2012

Friday, September 21 - Sunday, October 21, 2012
Various

Here’s the lowdown for Art & About 2012: art doesn’t belong in galleries. It belongs in our cities and streets and in our everyday lives. Streets aren’t just for street artists, but all artists. And maybe all artists could be considered ‘street artists’, not just the ones with a graffiti vibe. This is a festival of art in unusual spaces, marshalling artists out of the silent white gallery and into stairwells, intersections, billboards and building facades.
