FRINGE EVENTS

In 2017, Strand Ephemera will again promote a series of Fringe Events that coincide with the festival.

These events, organised and delivered by hardworking and talented Townsville artists and arts organisations, are supported through inclusion in Strand Ephemera publications and crosspromotion throughout the festival.

These events complement Strand Ephemera’s program, build on public engagement and further develop mutually-supportive arts relationships within the Townsville region. Most significantly, they paint a true picture of the vibrant arts and creative community of Townsville and the host of possibilities for locals and visitors alike.

A special edition of Townsville's PechaKucha event will focus on artists and industry professionals associated with Strand Ephemera, and is sure to give an interesting insight into the festival for visitors.

Strand Ephemera is proud to again support Fringe Ephemera at The Village which will offer five more amazing artworks to admire during Strand Ephemera, as well as a host of programs to complement the exhibition.

Once more coinciding with the North's Sculpture Festival, is the nationally recognised Australian Festival of Chamber Music (AFCM), offering visitors a range of musical events throughout the city during the festival period.

Umbrella Studio Contemporary Arts will also present Pop Up North Queensland (PUNQ) showcasing the talents of local Townsville artists and offering visitors a range of activities and exhibitions.

Landmark exhibitions are also on show in Townsville's regional gallery venues, with Pinnacles Gallery displaying Black Mist Burnt Country; and Perc Tucker Regional Gallery showing Teeming with Life: the Wongaloo Project and My Country, I Still Call Australia Home: Contemporary Art from Black Queensland.
