This is a tumblelog, kinda like a blog but with short-form, mixed-media posts with stuff I like. Scroll down a bit to start reading, or a bit more to read more about me.
Project 5 is an urban arts initiative presented by Cockle Bay Wharf, designed and curated by aMBUSH Gallery to support the arts through pop-up live art, music and auction events held each year.
Each Project 5 event commissions four (4) artists to paint large scale artworks in a pop-up live art and music event, which artworks are then auctioned in a high profile auction event to raise money for charity (the fifth member of Project 5). 100% of the proceeds are donated to charity to support creative programs for young people.
After the success of the first Project 5 pop-up live art event held in December 2009 with leading artists Ben Frost, Shannon Crees, Beastman and Phibs and the first auction event held in May 2010, which raised a groundbreaking $10,000 for Information and Cultural Exchange, Project 5 is now established as an ongoing arts initiative.
Project 5 is proudly supported with the positive and innovative partnerships and collaborations of Cockle Bay Wharf, Darling Park, aMBUSH Gallery, Bay East Auctions and the artists.
