Look Hear is part conference, part clubhouse, part playground and self-proclaimed total design geek out that’s being held throughout August at the Newcastle Region Art Gallery.
Look Hear brings speakers from around Australia to talk about their creative processes & design influences. This year’s first round of speakers has been announced and includes locals from High Tea With Mrs Woo (fashion), The Hungry Workshop (letterpress; Brisbane), Brendan McKnight (editor of Desktop Magazine; Brisbane), Pip Jamieson (editor of The Loop; Sydney), Rodney Wade (Finsbury Green National) & Beci Orpin (design & illustration; Melbourne).
The presentations are held on Wednesdays in August and are aimed at industry professionals, university students and the general public.
Look Hear is paired with Look See, which exhibits the work of some of Australia’s most inspiring designers and artists and will feature a live art battle on opening night. The exhibit will be on show at the Watt Space Gallery from 3 - 21 August, and opening night will be Friday, 5 August from 6:30pm.
More program announcements will be made soon - to keep up with what’s happening, you can follow Look Hear on Twitter or check out their Facebook page.
We’ll be bringing the tunes to Look See opening night on Friday. Requests anyone?
