On one side of the venue, there will be an exhibition showcasing a collaboration of 30+ contributors taking you on a journey through a diverse range of art mediums exploring identity, with opportunity to purchase certain pieces.
On the other side, we will have market stalls with artists selling prints of their work along with a few interactive stalls!
At 3pm, we have gathered a group of talented performers and musicians, including grunge band Big Cat Chic, Drag Kings of MCR, etc.
