Welcome to the inaugural Broken Hill Fringe! Our thanks go to all our sponsors but in particular our major sponsors Regional Development Australia, 2BH and Hill FM, Broken Hill Community Foundation, NSW Government, Brand Creative and Broken Hill Tourist Park. We would also to thank John Williams, Member for Murray Darling for championing our cause with the NSW Government.Over the next few years we believe we can build something that will bring significant economic and social benefits to Broken Hill. We have done our best to program an event to cater for everyone in our community and to ensure the Fringe is accessible to all, we have included many free events including at On the Fringe our pop up bar and entertainment venue. This event would not have been possible without the work of many including the PVCBA Committee our Project Officer and volunteers, but most importantly, the work of our artists. Thank you one and all and see you at the Fringe!

Opening hours – 10am-4pm Free Event Thu 17 - Sun 27 Oct // Photographic Exhibitions // TAFE College Information Technology Digital Photographic Exhibition // ‘Urban Angles’ // An exhibition of the work of TAFE’s Information Technology students.

As a recipient of a 2012 Artist in Residence grant Norton was able to embark on yet another exploration of the influence of science and technology cultures amongst the extreme landscapes of outback Broken Hill during his residencies. Should humans ever reach Mars and mineral rich deposits are discovered, the planet could well become a new ‘High Frontier’, a concept reflecting Broken Hill’s early founding years as a frontier town, then isolated from much of the world. Norton’s

VISUAL ARTS work creates an interesting dialogue on current human progress and the ever present and often burning desire to find new lands and resources. The new works produced from the Residency will form this exhibition. Opening Hours – Mon-Sun 10am-5pm. Gold Coin donation.

For a significant part of the 20th century an illegal Two-up school operated just metres off the Argent Street – the main thoroughfare of Broken Hill and when that was raided and shut down by police in 1984, the city’s Council successfully applied for a permit to run the game every day of the year. In handing down its decision, the NSW Office of Liquor, Gaming and Racing acknowledged that Two-up was an established part of the cultural heritage of this mining city”.
