Art for arts sake

Talked to Chay-ya, the artist who is creating our artwork for the festival, and the colour is ORANGE! So congratulations to Michelle for picking the winning colour.

It was nearly mustard though. We were both entranced by a man of mature years, passing by in the plaza, who was wearing mustard cord trousers, and darker mustard top, and sporting a cane. He looked fantastic! And if only he had had a green beret he would have been Flinders Street station in human form. But we gathered ourselves from such whimsy, and orange it is.
I’m very excited and hope that everyone takes the opportunity to interact with the artwork, its fun. It’ll be right by our information booth in the upper plaza, by Il Pomodoro and the Australian Racing Museum. Information and fun in one place!

Just over a week to go, bump in is on Thursday 19th, and whilst the office looks like a warehouse with boxes everywhere, everything is under control, and calm. Mind you the coffee run gets earlier and earlier every morning.

The devil, we agree, is in the detail.
