Since 1994 the Manly Arts Festival has grown into one of the State’s leading community-based arts festivals. Each year, Manly’s arts and cultural organisations and Manly Council, with the support of local businesses, join forces to develop a creative and entertaining program of events for residents and visitors. Manly Council is committed to supporting cultural programs in the Manly area and helps create opportunities for genuine participation in the creative arts. This year you’ll find not only lots to see and hear, but lots to be an active part of, with a range of creative learning opportunities to explore and enjoy. The strength of the Festival lies in its diversity, with a range of art exhibitions, music, workshops, kids’ events, performance, street and literary events both indoors and outdoors, day and night. Wonderful new projects have been developed, including major exhibition highlights and special events. Congratulations to everyone involved in helping make the 2012 Manly Arts Festival a truly marvellous event.
