An ‘unofficial’ fringe event to the Biennale of Sydney, SafARI generates an increased awareness of emerging and unrepresented artists. It also aims to highlight the whereabouts of ARIs and provides a forum for discussion, discovery and professional development for all involved.  Founded in 2004 by Lisa Corsi and Margaret Farmer, SafARI has received an overwhelmingly positive response from the arts community, international visitors and the media.

Art & About kicked off 2010 with Laneways by George! Hidden Networks, which invited interdisciplinary teams to transform Sydney’s laneways with a series of innovative installation artworks. Later in the year came Sydney Statues, the brainchild of Michelle McCosker and produced by Imogen Semmler, which treated us all to a series of dressed up and flamboyantly decorated historic Sydney statues. Meanwhile, in another part of town, Jess Cook and Kali Reid worked with local residents and artists to create Oh Alfred! a project that turned the fencing around Prince Alfred Park into a giant public artwork using found and salvaged material.
