Escape ARTfest 2012 - 'Branching Out'
10 days of artistic bliss in the MUD - each October the Milton Ulladulla District plays host to one of the regions most diverse and culturally exciting festivals in the form of the Escape ARTfest.
A celebration of the whole artistic spectrum, Escape ARTfest offers inspiration for everyone!
Art, Music, Literature, Film, Fashion, Performance and Gourmet Arts - over 80 artistic events across 10 days - worth the visit.
The committee are now in the planning stages so keep an eye on your in-boxes for details and updates. If you're not on the email list you'd better sign up now.
Each year a theme is chosen by the committee. This theme flows through many of the events and arts prizes that are associated with the festival. Participants are encouraged to use the theme as inspiration, although the interpretation does not have to be literal.
The 2012 theme 'Branching Out' should see many great ideas come forth!
Most of the information on this website at present relates to the 2011 festival. As we move closer to Escape ARTfest 2012 this will be updated.
Please contact the committee if you have any questions.
