The city’s first all-day creative arts festival is here! It’s been four years since our last outing in 2004, but this time we’re back with a difference. KLue Urbanscapes 2008 is going “user-generated”! We’re working together with “users” such as the general public, partners, collectives and individuals - each of them expressing themselves uniquely and contributing to the festival as a whole.
Aside from our hand-picked programme of music, arts, film and marketplace vendors, we’re also opening up the festival for YOU to take part in! Whether you’re interested in performing, submitting artworks or coming aboard as a partner, find out how you can be involved.
This year, we’re doing our best to make Urbanscapes 2008 a true community experience. Whether it’s music, film/video, shopping & lifestyle, art or even on-ground collaborations and partnerships, you can be part of the Urbanscapes 2008 experience and contribute towards making the overall event a success.
