Festival Melbourne 2006

Only 30 days to go before the Games, I am really looking forward to Festival Melbourne 2006

Celebration. Exploration. Revelation.

As part of the Melbourne 2006 Commonwealth Games, over 2,500 world-class artists from across Australia and the Commonwealth will descend on Melbourne in March for the largest free cultural festival ever held in Australia.

Festival Melbourne 2006 will be an international spectacular with 11 days of non-stop music, dance, circus, street theatre and visual art from all the corners of the Commonwealth in a range of venues across the State, including the great outdoors. And, best of all, everything’s free!

I personally will be involved in a team, coordinating and presenting the 'word art games exhibition' with a famous Melburnian visual artist / painter David White. Approximately 15-30 of David White’s works would be displayed at each of the city church venues during the Commonwealth Games. Tourists to the Games, as well as local passers-by and church attenders, would be the viewers. We will also prepare a poster for A-frames or stand, to be set up on the footpath to invite people in. Other attractions may link to the exhibition at different times, eg. David speaking at a venue, Games TV screen, etc.

The Games' motto is 'United by the moment'!! May we truly work and serve together to promote this great motto.
