Live Red Art 2011 launch party, Friday 13th of May.
The Live Red Art (LRA) crew are kick-starting some exciting and important projects for 2011 in partnership with At The Vanishing Point - Contemporary Art, Newtown. And they need your involvement...
Live Red Art is a grassroots collective all about exploring the potential of the arts to reshape our world, and making social justice issues engaging and accessible to all via cul...ture and creative media.
To celebrate the ominous date of our 2011 launch we’re throwing a party of monstrous proportions, themed “Stop Climate Horror!”
Featuring live music from;
Reverse Polarities - socially conscious Newtown hip-hop, featuring Billie Rose, P Smurf, Mute MC, Mikoen and Kit Complete -
Intentions - Sydney trio with super catchy DIY indie-punk tunes.
DJ collective Ultra Death Liver - stellar beat-makers mixing their unique combination of dubstep, funk and hip hop.
+plus special horror projections from the Punk Monk crew!
Support us to fundraise for LRA events in 2011:
*bicycle-powered cocktails and frozen alcoholic treats!
*Vego-friendly BBQ for those who are feeling snacky.
*Stop Climate Horror face-painting
*Izzy Ibis Rickshaw rides around the ATVP block!
*Unique specially designed Stop Climate Horror badges
*Beware, those who don’t come dressed in theme (think: nuclear victim, zombie climate denier) will be whacked with a $2 disaster levy doorcharge.
And fair enough, this is a fundraiser for the second Live Red Art festival and exhibition!
Last year, the inaugural Live Red Art festival and exhibition joined art and social justice, 400 people and 25 artists who investigated a radical political perspective alongside 5 bands in a glorious day of creative resistance at Marrickville's Addison Road Centre.
