Semi-Permanent 2014

Overview

If there’s one way to live a satisfying life, it’s quite possibly the taking of a crazy creative idea and turning it into a working, sustainable financial reality. Writers, musicians and artists are often reminded of ‘how hard it is to break into the industry’ and of the challenge of balancing integrity with ‘commercial appeal’. But when you’ve got a great original concept that you want to get off the ground, they’re not the things you want to hear. And they’re by no means imperatives.

Just to confirm that, consider buying yourself a ticket to the world’s most inspiring design event and Vivid festival opener, Semi-Permanent 2014. That way you’ll get to spend three days with people who’ve stuck to their artistic guns and hit the success mark.

Skateboarding legend Tony Hawk and ex-Aussie champion Corbin Harris will tell you all about how they built the Hawk brand, while Mr. Brainwash, who you might know from Exit Through the Gift Shop, will give you the lowdown on getting up-close and personal with Banksy.

Other guest speakers on the program include John Jay (GX, Portland agency), Andrew Denton, cult artist Tara McPherson and New York filmmaker Cheryl Dunn.

Then there’ll be installations, exhibitions, presentations and workshops. FBi is in charge of organising the parties. Tickets go on sale on March 4.

Tickets costs are:
Professional One Day $195 / 3 Day $445
Student One Day $120 / 3 Day $280
VIP One Day $295 / 3 Day $795
