9. TheEphemerosConcept
• A series of one-night collaborative
events that brings local art-makers,
creators, and the curious together for
one night.
• Each event is produced around an
exhibition of community artists, and
unfolds to provide a space for others to
show work and to uncover what other
creative locals are doing.
• It’s a place for collaboration and
contemplation, networking with art-
makers and socializing with neighbors,
creating an opportunity to connect with
the local creative community at large.
