What happens in 24 hours? People work and play, they laugh and cry - some fall in love, other have their hearts broken. Lives come to a close and new ones are born - all in the course of one turn of our planet.

24 Hours will explore lives throughout Gippsland, over the course of one day and night.

Inspirevent

Grand Opening of the Be Inspired Arts Festival
Inspirevent

Heralding in the first night of this month-long festival, Warragul comes alive with the sounds of musicians - on the streets, in the parks, along the footpaths and through the car parks of the town.

Instrument players from a mix of cultures and traditions meet in the town centre and parade through the street, to a massed performance - outside, inside and on top of the West Gippsland Arts Centre.

Come and be a part of something magical. Skip the light fantastic and help us ring, drum and blow in the start of a great Festival!

Reveal A4 Poster

Reveal is a lakeside event, embracing sound, movement and light - on a grand scale. Installed in the Botanic Gardens at Sale, the energy is focused on a commissioned work by artist Mark Cuthbertson who chooses inflatables to convey mood, feeling and ideas to the public - in an irresistibly fun artform.

Larger than life - the Reveal installation will incorporate the community's response to light through projected Haiku - simple words constructed with an ancient rhythm. All this wrapped up in a community celebration of food, wine and performance in the heart of Sale.

Dates: 
Sun, 8 May 4:00pm - 9:00pm
Dates and Times Summary: 
Sunday 8 May 2011 - 4pm start. All will be revealed at dusk.
