This Is Not Art Festival Hits Newcastle

Posted on 10/09/201008/09/2010 by Lauren Katulka

Despite giving Australia The Screaming Jets and Silverchair, Newcastle isn’t really known as much of a cultural capital. The annual This is Not Art Festival looks to change all that, with its annual line up of music, art, creative writing, and free thinking.

From September 30 to October 4, the festival will turn the Steel City into a cultural hub of activity, with The Crack Theatre Festival, National Young Writers Festival, Sound Summit, and WalkARTbout amongst the highlights.

Visit the This is Not Art Festival website regularly to learn all about what’s happening. Checking out the festivities sounds like a great way to spend your Labour Day weekend!

Lauren Katulka cannot remember a time when music was not a part of her life. Raised on an eclectic diet of Van Morrison, The Eagles, Cold Chisel, and Barbra Streisand, she remembers saving all her pocket money for weeks so she could buy cassettes featuring her favourite singers. At the tender age of 11 she saw her first live concert when Jimmy Barnes took his Soul Deep tour to Newcastle’s Civic Theatre. There was no looking back.

Today Lauren is a happily married freelance writer living on the New South Wales Central Coast. When she's not obsessing about the latest band, or some old favourite, she loves to roller-skate, experiment with new recipes, play pub trivia, and watch indie films.
