Artopia 2007 – 21 September to 14 October

Thursday, September 6th, 2007

Artopia is a biennial festival celebrating the talents of local artists across the state of Western Australia, and in 2007 will be held from 21 September to 14 October.

So that’s 23 days, and there will be 250 events with 2500 participating artists!!

Artists display sculpture, glass-making, textiles, jewellery, ceramics, painting, printmaking, new media, animation, mosaic and photography plus a whole lot more. Galleries present special programs to showcase their artists, host talks and offer advice on looking at and buying art.

And it’s all free! (well, to visit, experience, etc).

The opening event in Perth is the Big King Street Draw, from 10am to 4pm on Friday 21 September in King Street, Perth. There will be live entertainment, a celebrity draw-off, you can join in with the drawing, or be drawn, and there will be live caricaturing by some of WA’s cartoonists.

I would tell you more about it, but there’s a great website you can check out and search for events!

We interrupt this service….

Thursday, September 6th, 2007

With a quick note to let you know I’m on holidays (visiting family) in The Netherlands at the moment (until the end of September), so I may occasionally be behind with some things….

If you notice anything missing, please don’t hesitate to submit it!

While I’m posting an ’off topic’ post, I will also let you know that you can join the EnjoyPerth Facembook group, become a friend of the EnjoyPerth myspace, and follow EnjoyPerth on Twitter.

When I started EnjoyPerth in May 2006, I hadn’t expected it to be such a success and time consumer! But with so many people subscribing and finding events through google, it really keeps me motivated! Thanks for all your support :)
