Armidale Regional Council’s Arts and Cultural Festival working group is organising a festival to showcase local art, culture and heritage. If you are involved in the local creative industries – visual arts, crafts, performance, music, theatre, writing, heritage.

The festival is all about showcasing local talent, building creative capacity and cultural tourism, connecting arts and business, and involving the local community.

The theme is Colour New England - celebrating the wonderful colours of autumn, the wide open skies and amazing light of our region. Let’s celebrate the beauty of autumn.

The festival will be located in and around the Armidale mall starting mid morning and finishing with a light show later in the night. There will be makers’ markets, arts activities, exhibitions, crafts, workshops, street art, music, window displays, demonstrations, street theatre, arts & heritage trails, food markets and much more.

More information will become available closer to the date. Stay tuned.
