Re-Connect/Centre/Converge: The Arts Festival by The Substation will showcase multi-disciplinary programmes featuring both emerging and established artists. Festival Director, John hopes to fully integrate art into the chosen space, co-existing and interacting with each other. “The point is to rethink what can be done in this one centralised location, where placemaking and the space is prioritised over decentralisation over various nodes, unlike other festivals.”

Reserve your place for this curator-led tour of Re-connect/Centre/Converge: The Arts Festival by The Substation. Come experience the unique opportunity to see the exhibition through the eyes of John.
