In the post UAB exhibition haze, we would like to thank all of you who came to celebrate the first year of Urban Art binge. We've travelled around Brisbane sketching, sharing, eating and laughing and created wonderfully brave mixed media works in the studio. 

What was truly brought home for us on this special opening night was the creative community of engaged, curious and warm people that we've formed together this year. Hats off to all of you and we look forward to next year.

There are a few very special people that we'd LOVE to thank..

• All UAB Bingers
  
• Peter Breen and Jugglers Art Space
  
• Jennifer Ramsey for all her time and energy
  
• Mel Davis our wonderful friend
  
• Jodie Coral May Cowie for her music and spirit
  
• Street Food Australia SFA for the ribs and corn!
  
• Netta Toomey for her hoop dancing

Gorged on Creativity...For Now, marks the end of an amazing collaborative year of teaching.  The exhibition has been part of the plan since the inception of Urban Art Binge over peppermint tea in a Stone's Corner cafe in January 2012.

Gorging on Creativity was our mission for the year, that we would work with Brisbane's creative community to inspire, share, teach and give as much as we could of what we had learnt ourselves, through our respective creative practices, so that people felt inspired, satiated, stuffed full of ideas and above all inspired to create. 

This exhibition therefore is more than just the sum of it's binge-block parts.  The show reveals as much about the nature and spaces of Brisbane as it does our creative participants and as our art-binger's drop off their artworks today, created through the 6-week blocks of art classes throughout the year, our excitement about this, builds. 
 
This beautiful and exploratory exhibition documents a growth and vibrancy of our city that is echoed by the growth and vibrancy of the UAB participants who sketched and painted their way through the year with much courage and curiosity.
