2001
Art is… an open door
included “The Window” project
and Twilight River Parade as well as the regular
schools and community workshop program.
15,334 people attended 42 events and exhibitions.
“The Window” project and Twilight River Parade, a visual extravaganza
of music, song, dance, masks, puppetry, river
floats and magnificent inflatable sets, launched
the festival on the banks of the Wimmera River.
Director, Jillian Pearce and sculptor, Andrew
Blizzard were the two key faces behind the creation
& direction of this years opening event.
They worked together to conceive and produce
the visual dynamics of this opening event through
community based workshops.
Community Workshop
Program - A group of professional artists worked
in Horsham and travelled throughout the region
in a mobile arts resource van sharing their
expertise with community and school groups.
These workshops generated art works for use
during the festival, including performances,
costumes, props, puppets, post office banners
and street decoration.
…such fertile ground… a large
scale installation designed by Anthony Pelchen,
constructed on agricultural land and viewed
from the summit of Mt Arapiles.
A diverse program including regular community
events Gemstone & Mineral exhibition, first
Floral Art exhibition with local churches, Wood
Turners wood exhibition, films, visual art exhibitions
and performances by Neil Murray and Australian
String Quartet.
This was the year that we moved into our
new office space in Firebrace Street –
an important milestone.
