Kissing
frogs, pumpkin coaches and hot men in tights are my first thoughts when I think
of the fairy tales I read as a child... Ha! Imagine what the fanciful minds of
Brisbane's artistic community will come up with in the latest art exhibition to
hit town.
For those wanting to
immerse themselves into the world of the creative and the whimsical, Once Upon a Time - Reinterpreting
the Fairy Tale opens this Friday night, 16 August from 6pm.
It will be held at one of
Brisbane's coolest arts hubs Art & Design Precinct at 10 Bailey Street in West End.
The 10 day exhibition features established and emerging artists returning to the essence of folk histories - exploring oral tales, myths and beliefs behind ancient fairy tales.
It promises to be an exciting exhibition drawing together actors and artists creating works in media such as painting, illustration, sculpture, mixed media, photography, ceramics, jewellery and fibre art. There are also some amazing children's workshops scheduled, which explore the fairy tale genre.
Everyone is welcome to attend the opening night festivities - I'll be donning a pair of my favourite glass slippers to wear on the night!
All opening night bar, raffle and silent auction proceeds will be donated to Make-a-Wish Foundation. There will also be performances, music and a fairy fortune teller to predict your future...
I absolutely love all the things you can make at the event. The felt mushrooms and floating fairies are adorable, and I'd love to see some of the jewelry that's made. Sounds like fun!
ReplyDeleteI like the doll making class myself, Dana. And one of my friends is teaching the money-box making class for kids. It should be a cool exhibition. xx
