If you're new to this Open Day thing, it's something klpac started in 2008 and it was an absolute blast! We packed in 5,000 people and brought together some 200 arts practitioners.
Basically, it's one whole day jam packed with FREE performances, visual art installations, theatre and cultural games, arts workshops and demonstrations, staged readings, show previews, film screenings and, of course, the ever popular guided tours.
And if that's not enough to keep you occupied there will be some 60 over stalls on the lawn selling all kinds of interesting goodies and great finds (courtesy of the Bijou Bazaar team)!
MAJOR HIGHLIGHTS
NEW! The open day kicks off with a lion dance @ 9.30am
