Winter is coming...… but as all Melburnians know, this doesn't slow down our fine city, nor interrupt the superb offerings of artistic experiences on hand. Art in the cooler months keep us warm, motivated and stimulated! This is particularly true in the land of festivals this month - the Human Rights Arts & Film Festival has just kicked off, Melbourne Fringe Festival has opened artist registrations for their 2012 event, the St Kilda Busking Festival is in full swing every Sunday, Good Beer Week is on until this weekend and the St Kilda Film Festival opens next Tuesday. So pull on your jacket, scarf, boots and gloves and get amongst it!
2012 FESTIVAL PROGRAMOur 2012 Festival program is locked in! After ten years at the helm of arts festivals around the country, four with Melbourne Festival, our illustrious leader Brett Sheehy is set to farewell festival life with an exciting and diverse program of events (and a few extra special guests). We can't wait to share the details with you, so add the following key dates in your diaries: 30 July - Melbourne Festival program launched 8 - 27 October - Melbourne Festival 2012

studio's 'i believe' wallMelbourne Festival would like to congratulate our 2011 Broadcast Partner STUDIO, who won an award at the Subscription Television Marketing Awards for their 'I Believe' campaign. This is a tremendous accolade for both STUDIO and the Festival, and we commend all who worked diligently to bring this campaign to fruition.

next wave festivalNext Wave Festival opens this Saturday, bringing together over 600 emerging artists participating in 38 projects across 9 days. The 2012 Festival will present art that reinterprets our social, political and civic humanity, with an emphasis on site-specific, interdisciplinary and live arts practice. However it's not all serious - the Festival challenges artists to produce work that is fun, cheeky, risky, generous and engaging. As Artistic Director Emily Sexton states, "Next Wave invites audiences to take part in whole-day journeys, guided through a curated collection of new art works and ideas... This is bleeding edge contemporary art and bold attempts at searing, soaring exchange... to create truly ambitious, ground-breaking work." To celebrate our friends at Next Wave are giving you the chance to win a double pass to Wintering, the latest dance work by choreographer Aimee Smith. Click here for more details...
