ArtCore DIY artist markets, Newtown
Last night (September 15th), I had the pleasure of being involved in a Newtown guerrilla style art market set up by Chris Lego as part of the Sydney Fringe. ArtCore was an underground (well under the Dendy at least) pop-up festival with over 30 local artists showing off their skills and fine art pieces, to the delight and amazement of at least a thousand art lovers during the evening.
Artists such as Catriona Secker, Rebecca Murphy, Andrew Ensor, Ears, Joe Wilson, Chris Lego, VectorPunk, Claire Nakazawa and Sol contributed their visual wares and good vibes to the space, which, with its security grills and many painted tags proved a perfect street style venue for DIY artists to do their thing.
The amazing Paul Mac was in attendance to present three lucky art lovers with an enviable assortment of art pieces donated by the participating artists, and much fun, chess and music was had by all, thanks in part to the DJs, Gonzo and Franco.
