Meet the locals: Broadway partners with Sydney Fringe Festival

With spring heating things up, the inner west is about to get a little bit hotter with the Sydney Fringe Festival about to hit the area.

What better place to see it at all than Broadway shopping Centre, which will come alive with art, entertainment and performance during the month of September.

One of the first events to take place is with emerging artist Bafcat, who has designed a new artwork titled ‘Mystic Jungle’ which is a huge piece of art measuring 10 metres wide, inspired by mystic animals.

Beginning next week, Bafcat will create an interactive mural within the Food Court on Level 2. An avid comic book reader and sci-fi movie buff, Bafcat’s works are inspired by vibrant cartoons and characters.

The artist will be painting live in centre from the 1st of September where people can watch and interact with the artist as part of the ‘Live Art’ theme of the Sydney Festival.

The Sydney Fringe Festival is now the largest independent arts festival in NSW, representing thousands of artists across all art forms.

It has built a reputation for nurturing and supporting emerging artists, presenting established artists in the development of new works, promoting small to medium sized venues and activating public spaces.

In addition to the presentation of art, this festival engages the local community of residents and supports small business and night-time economy.

This festival aims to give a voice to those who produce work all year round and compete with main stage events for publicity, and large corporations for custom. This festival represents the cultural heart of the city and celebrates all things Sydney from local community groups to well-known touring artists.
