The wheels are already turning for the 2010 festival and we’re seriously excited. Expect more fiery debates, invaluable workshops, bigger literary explosions and a general mash-up of interactive art-making goodness. Rumours are afoot that 2009’s ultimate Spelling Bee will make a return – will the reigning champion be able to protect his title?
As always, we’ll be sharing Newcastle with the four other festivals under This Is Not Art's (TiNA's) loving umbrella – Sound Summit, Electrofringe, Critical Animals and Crack Theatre Festival.
Festival dates are 29 September to 4 October 2010. Mark it in your diary, in texta.
