Smart ARTS 2014
If you're on the right side of 26, join in parlour games, parties and other arty fun.
Overview
If you're aged 15-26 and your art is smart or, hell, even if it ain't you ought to join in on City of Sydney's smart ARTS festival. A bunch of free events and workshops will be running April 4-13 in conjunction with National Youth Week to involve our yoof in the creative worlds.
Among the events comes Parlour Games, a collaborative drawing and games night. Invented by French surrealists in the '20s, Exquisite Corpse will be among the games played on the evening. Before passing it on to the next player, Exquisite Corpse involves drawing in turns on a sheet of paper and folding it to conceal their illustration. Beijing Doodles is a newer game, which is apparently like playing Chinese Whispers with a pen. Yeah, we aren't sure what that means either.
The smart ARTS exhibition will run for the entirety (plus some) of the annual festival. Focusing on issues that affect young people locally and globally, it showcases art in an array of mediums at the Pine Street Creative Arts Centre.
Check out the rest of the program on the smart ARTS website. And don't forget to wear your creative and thinking caps this April.
