Immerse yourself in creativity at the Creative Pursuits Art Festival. For two glorious days, the heart of our town transforms into a vibrant canvas of artistic expression. Hosted at the historic Macclesfield Institute precinct, Davenport Square, and local businesses the Festival offers a diverse range of artistic experiences. Discover the free two day "Community - The Art of Us" exhibition, a testament to the collective creativity of Hills and Fleurieu mixed media artists. Dive into hands-on workshops – on weaving, photography, painting, sketching, leather work, performance arts, Hanji (traditional Korean paper craft), printing and felting. Feel the rhythm at the iconic Three Brothers Arms and play at the Open Mic session, where musicians can perform their original works to an audience. Join the evening Meet the Artist's Supper in the Institute Hall, a feast of artisanal delights and local libations from some of our sponsors. Mingle with the artists. Celebrate with the winners of Best Exhibiting Artist and Best Young Artists. Cast your vote in the People’s Choice award. Purchase an inspiring piece to take home from the exhibition. Sunday is a family fun day at Davenport Square, bursting with free activities for kids and teens – pet portraits, cartooning, nature art, music, and circus skills! Come connect, be inspired, and experience the joy of Creative Pursuits. Imagine. Explore. Create. Tickets available now on Eventbrite.
