The
artists on the Wonderwalls roster will converge on the city for this
series of free public events. In Wonderwalls Wollongong’s second year
they want to improve on gains made last year to present the city as a
viable option for creative endeavours and projects, a place where
artists can afford to live at lower cost without sacrificing culture.
Increased cultural infrastructure will see the small city as an artistic
tour de force in years to come.
Get down to The Gong for Wonderwalls, and the unveiling of their hidden artistic identity. What you see might surprise you.
