Experience the Shepparton CBD like you never have before. Join us for the ultimate way to get around town – with ART! You can take the tour at your own pace, or keep up with the group. Feel free to join us at any point on the way too.
START 5pm – 5:30pm Beginning at the Shepparton Brewery for a quick drink and to gather into our tour groups, we will then head off on a tour of Shepparton that you’ve never experienced before.
5:30pm – 5:45pm We arrive at Shepparton Festival HQ to acknowledge and pay respects to the First Peoples of this land, followed by sharing in dance and song by Yorta Yorta artists.
From here, we will split into our groups and head off on a tour experiencing the following program:
NB – each group will see these works in a different order.
Enjoy the first viewing of “A Focus of Conscious Attention” By Reese Truscott. A series of hallucinatory technical drawings installed in an immersive space, illuminated under ultraviolet light.
Walking past the window display of Sakeena Akbari’s work then enjoy some Street Art!
Greg Pritchard’s “Listen Here!” will provide a listening experience of the sounds you might hear at the top of the Shepparton Observation Tower AKA the “Telstra Tower”
We officially open “Tank & Friends” an exhibition of local artists at the new Tank’s Art Gallery. Some light refreshments are available here.
Share in spoken word from Yorta Yorta Hip Hop artist, BRICKY B in a special secret location.
FINISH 7:30pm-ish Pizza, drinks and celebrations with live music at Casablanca Pizza & Pasta
If you’re not inspired by art by now, nothing will get you in! Feel free to book a ticket to Tinderella, happening in Casablanca’s back room if you haven’t already.
