Shoefiti

Arts & Culture

Nicolette Worth’s exhibition is based around sneakers and urban culture. Each piece of artwork has been created in a different light, depending on the sneaker, as sneakers show many different characters. Some fun and exciting, some harder to read, but all colourful and happy.

Nicolette’s work is influenced by Australian and American hip-hop culture, graffiti and street art, Indigenous Australian art, Indian art, African art and the decorative era of the 1960s. Her art contains a lot of collage layering, different textures, as well as stencilling, scratching and drawing.

“Sneakers are my passion and my love, art is my talent, and so I enjoy joining these two passions together… I hope to give off a contemporary and different feel to my take on what sneaker art is and how it can be expressed.”

Nicolette has completed a Diploma in Visual Arts. In 2009, her sneaker art was exhibited in New York.

FREE

OPENING NIGHT FRI 10 September 2010 5.30pm - 8.30pm
Please join us at Cell Art Space, 109 Lake St at 5.30pm sharp to officially launch Shoefiti. From 6pm - 8.30pm meet the artist and enjoy food and drinks at Twelve Bar Café, Cnr Lake & Shields St.

Falling Petals

Theatre

JUTE continues our passionate commitment to the development of professional theatre practitioners in this region through The Indie Season. The Indie Season project kicked off in 2008 and continued in 2009. This is a long-term commitment and in 2010, JUTE will again provide a regional independent theatre maker with the opportunity to produce their own work.

JUTE has no creative control over the production but provides support with a financial investment of $5000 for the producer. JUTE Theatre’s Artistic Director, Operations/ Marketing Manager and the Production Manager all provide practical advice to the producer. JUTE also engages a professional designer to consult with the producer but takes no part in the creative decision-making. The Independent Producer retains the box office from the season.

The Independent producer was chosen through a competitive submission process with submissions assessed by a panel including the Artistic Director, the Associate Director and one independent assessor from the professional theatre sector.

POP Robot Theatre Group are the successful applicants for 2010.

National Conference & AGM 2010 (National Development Forum)

Business

Cairns is the ideal destination to hold our National Conference in 2010. It is the most convenient of convention locations with the Cairns Convention Centre only minutes walking distance from a wide range of five, four and three star hotels and apartment style accommodation.

Cairns City has the very best of everything...great restaurants, excellent accommodation, exciting shopping, a casina and over 600 tour choices.

The Great Barrier Reef is one of the most desirable destinations in the world and undisputedly one of the world's extremely important natural assets.

The region's Wet Tropics Rainforest is over 140 million years old. It has a diverse and exquisitely fragile ecology.

More details on next year's National Conference coming soon....
