We’re tilting ever-closer to festival-time, ready to slide on in to three weeks of festivities.
Think of this email as that really organised friend who sits you down and demands you pull out your calendar to lock in your next catch up, because they have only your best interests at heart. That’s us – we want you looking ahead to week two to make sure you don’t miss out, because we only have your best interests at heart. That’s what friends are for.
JUST ANNOUNCED!
Total Bore and Noni Cragg have pulled together a (frankly) outstanding line-up for Bondi Fest x Gladdy Drawing Club.
Taking place every Thursday and Sunday over the festival dates, with guest artists including Blak Douglas, Leanne Xiu Williams and Wendy Sharpe, burlesque performance from Demon Derriere and Demon’s ASSassins, drag artist Lady Fur and models including Betty Grumble, Leigh Pitchford and Natalie Naksila, Bondi Fest x Gladdy Drawing Club promises to be the best life drawing event in Sydney this winter.
