Applications close on Monday 8 December for Art Sounds, a new and innovative performance program linking Newcastle City Council (Newcastle Region Art Gallery, Newcastle Region Library, and the Loft Youth Venue), the Octapod Association, Hunter TAFE and the University of Newcastle. |
Octapod will host an event on Thurs 11 Dec, 6-8pm at 401 Shopfront on Hunter St to mark the completion of the Science Arts Initiative. This project has involved a collaboration between artists and scientists from across a broad range of scientific backgrounds including architecture, space physics, and chemical engineering. The project aimed to give the public an accessible window into the minds of scientists, with a particular view to science itself. |
Octapod will close on Fri 19 Dec and re-open for public access on Thurs 29 Jan 09. Staff will be working reduced hours (or perhaps having a holiday!) during January. Thanks everyone for an inspired and creative year!
