ArtWalk
ArtWalk is a community project aimed at bringing aspiring artists,
designers and creative individuals to the public fore. Organised by The
Creative House, ArtWalk 2010 will be held for the third consecutive year
on August 20 at The Warehouse Project from 7.30pm. An audience of 700 is
expected at the event.
Looking for a conundrum on the catwalk?
 Here's art, but not as you know it. A jigsaw puzzle? Yes.
Extraordinary? Yes. ArtWalk is set to outdo itself this August.
the.creative.house. is about to bring these two concepts into a
collision on the catwalk. Think bizarre futurism, think art redefined.
Photography, sculpture, dance, painting, and graphic design are just
some themes that have influenced what will saunter down this radically
innovative runway. Progressive designers are bubbling with passion and
energy, as they combine style with inspiration and originality. They
will drape their models in the colourfully creative, the inventive, and
the aesthetically appealing.
You last saw ArtWalk on the Street. Next, in the form of an ingenious
jigsaw masterpiece, it will be unfolded piece by piece at a location
that is yet to be disclosed. The media will reveal only slight hints to
the public; that's one more thing to muse over.
This explosion of inspired creativity will explore art from diverse
areas of life. Powerful is too understated a description for the fashion
show. Anticipate a fiery hot explosion of fashion fusion. ArtWalk will
query the unthinkable and the absurd, and bring it to life. Imagine
artistic diversity, and synthesize that thought with brilliance. Expect
more. The show will give you reason to.
ArtWalk will experiment with marbles, clay, echoes, mirrors,
holograms and popsicles. Designs will be epic and kaleidoscopic,
deliciously vibrant. Models will be geishas; designs will glow in the
dark. ArtWalk will break through the conventional, and revitalise the
rational. Here's something to talk about.
Feeling enticed, or possibly...perplexed?
What is ArtWalk?
ArtWalk will exhibit a fusion of art on the catwalk. Various forms of
art such as photography, sculpture, fashion design and dance will be
used to create a final culmination of a piece of art.
