Off with a Bang

Last night’s Festival Opening was huge. More than a thousand people packed into the Atrium at Federation Square and hundreds rolled on to the new Festival Club, at the Mercat Cross Hotel.

Last night was also the launch of Membrane there at Fed Square, featuring 14 contemporary artworks from ARIs from around Australia.

In other news, The Age ran a great cover story in EG today by Fiona Scott-Norman. You can read the complete article here.
