‘Get with the Program’ Arts Festival
Dates TBC
“Even in literature and art, no man who bothers about originality will ever be original: whereas if you simply try to tell the truth (without caring twopence how often it has been told before) you will, nine times out of ten, become original without ever having noticed it.” C.S. Lewis
A worldwide Arts Festival of utmost importance.
Unprecedented worldwide events are unfolding which many are ‘awake’ to, whilst many others, appear to be hypnotised by a televised ‘program’. Artists from all over the world, are invited to submit work to be exhibited online. Interactive and participatory artworks are encouraged. A small selection of works will be viewable ‘in the flesh’ at selected art galleries, including Lionsa Gallery in Frankston, Melbourne, Australia.
I am an artist.
Have you been making work or envisaging the making of work which speaks of the situation you are witnessing? With the recent dismissal of Michael Leunig, Melbourne’s favourite cartoonist, from The Age, for the creation of a poignant artwork which critiqued the ‘narrative’, we have entered a realm in which it is ‘dangerous’ to comment on political agendas. We will not be silenced! Submit your proposed work here.
