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.

The exhibition is a testament to the creativity, inspiration and vibrancy of Brisbane as told through the eyes of the Urban Art Binge students of 2012.

The show opens with live music and sketching.  Street Food Australia will be serving up a tasty feast with the Juggler's bar open from 6pm. 

Art works will be for sale on the night as well as gift vouchers for 2013's program.
