LIVE ART by OX KING!!

 As part of Renew Newcastle's Festive Follies Walking Tour, Arthive will be hosting a special once-in-a-lifetime event. Fresh from Paste Modernism at Cockatoo Island, OX KING (aka Sydney artist Steven Nuttall aka Automaton) will be visiting to drop some mad paint skillz on one of our miserable looking walls in an incredible live art performance that you're invited to watch, critique, and enjoy.

OX has been making quite a name for himself in Sydney this year. Since his SPOOK HOUSE exhibition at ARThive in 2010, he has participated in art battles and live art performances all over the place, from Hardware Gallery, Lo Fi Gallery, Dirty Shirlows, to the Australian Museum!


Check out some of OX KING's recent work at http://theoxking.tumblr.com

From 2-4pm Renew Newcastle will host a walking tour starting at the Renew Church which will make its way through Arthive, Makespace, Shannon Hartigan, Birdhouse, Little Papercup, Run Amok, Odditorium, Tipsy Orchestra, and The Woods. It's a good chance to check out what's happening in each of the RN spaces in the mall and also meet the people behind them. There will be free food, drink, and entertainment along the way.



Supported by Renew Newcastle. 

Red Lantern Night Markets

The Red Lantern Night Markets were incredibly popular last year and this year they will be back for just one night, Nov 26 from 4-10pm. There will be artist and craft stalls, street performers, music, food, and lots of people! The event will be held in our favourite end of town, Hunter Street Mall, and we'll be staying open late for anybody that wants to come and check out what we do. We'll have heaps of original art on sale that has been cluttering up our office and studios, so come visit us! The markets are still looking for donations to help fund the event on pozible, so if you feel like supporting the event with money to help make it happen i'm sure they'd appreciate it.

This Is Not Bart (Is Not Open Anymore)

Take Me Homer © Eddie Botha

Yep, THIS IS NOT BART is over for 2011. If you missed it, it was really really great! Here is a collection of impressive journalism in case you missed it.

 Here is a nice bit by Amy Edwards in the Herald. It was also online here.

And here is another! The photo is a bit weird, where is Sarah?

Oh here she is, profiled in the Newcastle Post.

We also had a great big chat with Jill Emberson on ABC 1233 radio. I don't think you can hear it online but it was really fun and nice.

And then Maynard from ABC Radio came for a visit. look!

listen!
..

Thanks Newcastle Herald, Newcastle Post, and ABC Radio! Thanks to all the artists for contributing their work, everybody who came to the show, especially those who bought something, all the ARThive volunteers for keeping the gallery open, Renew Newcastle for everything, Todd Johnston at Newcastle Response Services, The guys from Bizoo Zine, and 20th Century Fox for not suing us. We would also like to thank the following Simpsons fansites for their coverage of the event, dead homer society, and rubbercat.net/simpsons/ thanks for all the web traffic dudes.

FYI We had so much fun that THIS IS NOT BART will return again next year. Artists keen to participate should probably start making work now! or soon!
