Eurobodalla is abuzz with just one week until the River of Art delivers its biggest program in its 16-year history
Artists, performers, business and the community are putting the final touches on their events, including the highly anticipated Luminous: Art After Dark at Riverside Park on September 24.
Festival chair Leanne Joyce said tickets are still available but selling fast, especially for feature events like an evening with Vince Jones and Band at Bay Pavilions, Luminous and Luminous Lounge, circus comedy cabaret Flutter, Forest Theatre’s ’For the Love of Earth’ and Muffat Collective’s Baroque Passions.
“We are so lucky to have these wonderful experiences right here in our community, so grab your tickets from our website today, you won’t be disappointed!”
“We have a record 130 exhibitions, workshops, open studios and performances this year concluding with the biggest laser and light show that South East NSW has seen - Luminous: Art After Dark’ Leanne said.
“This Festival within the River of Art Festival will transform Moruya’s Riverside Park into a wonderland of light sculpture and projection, music, markets and roving performers
on Saturday 24th September.”
"Luminous: Art AFter Dark offers an incredible show for just $20 general admission and $150 for the premium experience in the Luminous Lounge.
“We have over 60 artisan and food stalls and 60 community members have put up their hands to volunteer for this event, and we’ve had a strong field contesting the River of Art Prize, to be announced at the Festival launch next Friday.
"While Luminous: Art After Dark provides a festival focal point, the program is packed with world-class offerings on any of the 10 days in towns across the Eurobodalla.
Mayor Mathew Hatcher said the Festival was vitally important for the coastal community by celebrating arts and culture, and attracting visitors to the region.
“The River of Art Festival has been going for 16 years and is going from strength to strength. It is an important Hallmark Event that showcases the talent of our creative communities and makes a multi-million-dollar contribution every year to the region.”
“I encourage people to map out the program and buy tickets now to the feature events,” he said.
The festival launch will be held at Bay Pavilions on Friday September, 16 at 5pm, and includes the unveiling of the River of Art Prize finalists and winners and a preview of Luminous. Public welcome.
