Following on from the success of their recent Frock Up for Fringe fundraiser, the team from the Castlemaine Fringe Festival are gearing up for their Smoke and Mirrors winter warmer at Lot 19 arts space on Saturday August 3.
The event is being held in collaboration with Castlemaine Clay and Lot 19.
Dust off your sequins, bring out your bling. There’s excitement brewing at Lot 19. A night of sparkle, glimmer and shine. Castlemaine Clay and Fringe bring you a night of fire and play. Fire sculptures and pretty lights. A night of entertainment and surprise delights.
A fundraiser for Castlemaine Fringe Festival and Castlemaine Clay, Smoke and Mirrors will also feature a kiln being built especially for the event, works from which will be presented in an exhibition to follow the event.
Festival director Azzy Jay said the Fringe team loved collaboration.
“Working with the incredible folks at Castlemaine Clay for this event – as well as with Lot 19, which is one of our favourite venues, has been joyful,” Azzy said.
Fringe operations manager Fionna Allan said Fringe was a true community effort.
“We’re an independent festival with no ongoing funding, and so not only are these kinds of events the lifeblood of our organisation, but more importantly they give us more opportunities to celebrate all the brilliant talent we have in our community – artists, musicians, creators of all type – and our team of amazing, sparkling volunteers,” Fionna said.
“This will be a night of warmth and spontaneity,” added Azzy. “There will be mulled wine, live music from The Presbyterians, fire sculptures and dancing. Not to forget food provided by the legends at Castlemaine Community House and, of course, the big reveal of the fire-smoked ceramics that the Castlemaine Clay members have been working so hard on.”
The event kicks off at 7pm and runs until 11pm.
