KIRSTEN BARTHOLOMEW
CURIOUS Arts Festival, a colourful program of comedy, dance, music, circus, workshops, film and family entertainment, is set to exhilarate Darling Downs audiences this weekend.
Featuring a mix of free and ticketed shows, the festival will be a feast for the senses for the whole family, bringing a rich variety of exciting arts events to the city.
Festival co-director Kirsten Bartholomew said the festival would transform the Empire Theatre Precinct in Toowoomba today and tomorrow.
“There is so much for people to enjoy at Curious Arts Festival. People can come and relax and enjoy the atmosphere of The Oasis, the curiously transformed Empire Theatre forecourt,” she said.
“Meanwhile there will be a variety of exciting and curious shows taking place in the surrounding venues including comedy, shows for the kids and cabaret.
“We’re encouraging the people of the Toowoomba region to get in touch with their curiosity, be adventurous and experience a taste of something new.”
Curious Arts Festival will also provide the artists of the Toowoomba region with the chance to work with some of Queensland’s most experienced performing artists through workshops, with the added opportunity to showcase their work during the festival weekend.
