Penny LovelockCommunity

ARTfest 2009 is a celebration of all things community and reflects the appreciation of our own creative, inspiring, beautiful and healthy culture.

2nd - 11th October... 10 days of artistic bliss.

The festival is a dynamic and inspiring combination of over 70 individual events across approximately 40 local venues.

The 2009 festival committee have voted for a shorter event. The main rationale behind this change is IMPACT - to ensure the festival remains dynamic and inspiring it was unanimously agreed that a shorter time frame would achieve a more effective outcome. This is not to say that some events, such as exhibitions, will extend beyond these dates if desired.

New Art Prize - $500 up for grabs

Stewart ReineckerProust Bushland Services
Proust Bushland Services is offering a $500 prize for the art work that “best represents sustainable community” works may be in any creative shape or form. For more info click here.

Proust Bushland Services aims to provide quality, best practice ecological restoration services to a range of land managers to assist in restoring degraded environments. The overall philosophy of the business is based on sustainability and caring for the earth. We believe that conserving biodiversity is fundamental to the function of the planet as we know and rely upon it.

Working with communities, land managers and volunteers provides opportunities for us to learn more about the environment whilst enabling us to assist others in managing the land in a more sustainable way. Dealing with different sectors of the community is an enriching and important part of the process to achieving a greater awareness of environmental issues and finding solutions - together.
