INCORPORATING underwater sounds, opera amongst antiques, digital art workshops, plays, poems and more, the Shepparton Art Festival is preparing to return in April this year.
Details of each of the 40+ events will be revealed this Friday, February 28, when the festival guide is launched at 171 Fryers Street in the heart of Shepparton.
The 29th Shepparton Festival will run from April 4-13 this year, with an emphasis on ensuring art is accessible with many free and low-cost events, covering a huge range of artforms and styles.
“This year’s Festival has a huge range of programs that we’re really proud to be delivering in collaboration with incredible artists and producers,” Festival Director Kristen Retallick said.
“With so many low and no cost events on offer at a time when families are really feeling the cost of living, the festival provides a great opportunity to try something new, whether that is comedy, painting, dancing or visiting an Art Exhibition or market.
“We’ve worked really hard behind the scenes to bring a range of exhibitions, events and experiences so that everyone in our region will get a chance to try something,”
“The guide launch is a great chance to choose the events that will best fit your calendar, and to start jumping on tickets if there are particular shows that really grab your attention.
“The Shepparton Festival provides a glimpse of what Shepparton means to artists and what art means to Shepparton. It’s the sort of community event that has enjoyed huge success in past years, and just gets better, the more that people dive in and sample the program.
“We can’t wait to share more details about the program when our Festival Guide is launched on Friday.”
