Light Square is the place to be this Friday, December 5, as the Adelaide College of the Arts ARTS BAZAAR and graduate fashion parades flaunt the skills of their no-longer-students. Alongside the college events, the Art Battle Spectacular will pit artists against each other in a live-art showdown.
Arts Bazaar
3pm to 7pm, 39 Light Square
The Bazaar will feature 40 stalls, mixing graduate artists with public vendors. A range of gifts – homewares, artworks, textiles, wine – will be on sale. For many of the graduates, this is the first opportunity to have their work available to the public and on show for purchase. Ceramics, paintings and more will populate the stalls.
To complement this, the graduate art exhibition, EXIT, is on show in the College building. While you’re in the area, it would be worth your time to poke your head in an have a look at the works from Adelaide’s next generation of creative minds.
Fashion parades
4pm and 7pm, 39 Light Square
Across two timeslots on Friday afternoon, AC Arts will debut their fashion design graduates in catwalk parades. The events are ticketed, with the 4pm matinee costing $20 entry and the 7pm feature show for $40. Bookings can be made through Mel Ryan (08) 8207 8522.
