About Underbelly Arts
Underbelly Arts 2011 brings you some of the best new works by Australia’s freshest creative talent, all in the incredible surrounds of Cockatoo Island, Sydney Harbour. Watch art unfold as over 150 artists collaborate on exciting, innovative and experimental projects during the 10-day residency, The Lab. Or come to The Festival, our big finale showing off and celebrating fruits of the artists’ hard work.
Underbelly Arts was established in 2007 as a social experiment that asked
What would happen if you brought up to 150 artists together under the one roof for ten days to develop new work?
What would happen if you then opened this process to the public, allowing them behind the scenes of art in the making?
Projects developed in previous years have gone on to feature at events and programs around Australia including Melbourne Fringe Festival, LiveWorks, The Melbourne International Comedy Festival, Adelaide Fringe and Next Wave Festival.
Underbelly Arts is produced by Rinse Out Inc, an exciting young not for profit arts organisation dedicated to supporting the next generation of artists in Australia. Want to help? Make a tax deductible donation here.
