EventArt & About 2012
Fri, 21 Sep - Sun, 21 Oct 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.
