In 2011 over 400 artists participated in the Harvest arts program across the three cities – Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane. Across four dedicated stages, 50 installations, and 2 virtual experiences, the skin of festival-going folk goosebumped with sensory delights from some of Australia’s most creative talents. This year, the arts programming team are seeking stage performance, live art happenings, site installations, roaming performance, spoken word, comedy, circus, digital and ecological arts projects – and everything in between to once again tantalize, shock and mesmerize.
In its debut year, Harvest scooped up Best Major Festival in the FBi Sydney Music and Arts Awards, was named Best Touring Festival by AU Review, and was voted Number 2 Best Australian Festival of 2011 in the Street Press Australia national survey and this year it has grown even stronger.
This November, Harvest ARTS will explode side by side a fitting musical line-up; full of colour, richness and diversity the two elements of arts and music coming together to create a unique atmosphere, pulsing with heart and soul.
If you’d like to be involved and have your work showcased as part of Harvest Festival please apply via the online application form.
The deadline for all arts submissions is July 14, 2012.
