Following the tradition of spectacular street arts, the Boonah Spar Arts Festival, with this year's theme of Imprints, Yours, Mine, Ours, engages a broad cross-section of the community in events that rejoice in human creativity. They invite you to experience the world in diverse ways by challenging the known and shaping the unknown.
Just an hour from Brisbane, the small rural town of Boonah will be transformed into pageantry, public competitions and exhibitions, the written and spoken word, music, dance and theatre. A prize pool of AUD10000.00 beckons artists, writers, musicians and craftspeople in visual and wearable art, poetry, prose and original music competitions, with national and international judges, artists and guests together with the home grown talents of local Scenic Rim artists.
A free creative workshop program leads to the celebration of the Street Arts Spectacular closing the nine day festival.
