artRiot has been accepted into the Sydney Fringe!

This is the first time ever that Sydney will be hosting a fringe festival, joining a wonderful traditional built in places like Edinburgh & Adelaide.

The details?

11-26 September 2010
Annandale Hotel (upstairs)
17 Parramatta Rd, Annandale

Keep an eye out for us on the Sydney Fringe web site & in the programme when it’s out.

News Flash No. 2: Round One Expressions of Interest have now closed.

We received about 12 great submissions which got us really excited about the exhibition, but we’re looking for more. If you submitted an artwork in Round One and haven’t heard from us, please be patient, we’ll get back to you in the next week or so. Stay tuned for Round Two.

After being accepted into ‘the Fringe’ the collective had to make a tough decision: did we have the capacity to run an artRiot exhibition for 2 weeks from the 10th – 26th of September in the Inner West and then back that up with an overlapping 2 week exhibition at the TAP Gallery in Darlinghurst? Could we create a significantly differing event? Could we give both exhibitions the energy that art for radical social change deserves? The tough conclusion we reach was no.

The good news? We’re now looking at re-scheduling our TAP Gallery exhibition from September to the festival season in February 2011 with a new cast of artists and exciting new opportunities. That’s right, artRiot is in for the long haul & we’re not going home for tea & cakes just when the riot’s getting started.
