Applications are now open to local artists, buskers and creative performers to help activate Caboolture’s laneways and CBD areas as part of Moreton Bay’s newest creative arts festival - Generate Festival.
Generate Festival (Saturday 21 and Sunday 22 October 2017) is a new and exciting two day festival run by Moreton Bay Region Industry and Tourism and proudly supported by Moreton Bay Regional Council.
Festival organisers are currently seeking musicians, dancers, visual artists and lots more from right across Caboolture and the Moreton Bay Region to activate Caboolture’s town square and CBD areas with acoustic artists, buskers, music and dance performances, lighting installations, artistic displays and a showcase of the latest street art designs.
It’s an incredible opportunity for local artists to showcase their creativity to thousands of festival goers.
The festival will feature six key precincts for which artists can register, including:
The Generate Gallery
The Gallery will be an immersive and exciting display of local contemporary art. This opportunity is open to various creative works, including, but not limited to: paintings, photography, woodwork, metal work, glass painting, mosaics, pottery, sculptures, wearable art and other formats of art. Multiple submissions are accepted and encouraged.
Generate Cube Murals
There will be the opportunity for individuals / groups to paint a mural/s on the sides of large ply cubes (provided) which will be erected in town square as part of a temporary public art project. Murals will be painted ‘live’ onsite during the running of the event and there may be opportunities for public participation.
Generate Large-Scale Sculptural Pieces
Caboolture Town Square will come alive with large temporary sculptural pieces, which will form part of the Generate Arts Trail, a contemporary installation featuring large pieces made from various materials, including found and repurposed items. These installations will ideally be sized at a minimum of 1.5m x 1.5m and will need to be structurally sound.
