On 7-9 September, Graceville Uniting Church and Milpera State High School will present Our World Art Fest 2018. The second annual major art exhibition by Milpera students is a three-day community event and programme of art and cultural activities.
One of Our World Art Fest 2018 highlights will be a showcase of local music talents through the “Calling Local Musos for Sounds of Our World” competition. Performers with 1-5 musicians will perform acoustic music acts or performance with just basic sound requirements (bringing their own instrument).
Visitors will get to vote for their favourite act. The artist or band with the most votes will win $100 and one voter will win $50. There will be seven time-slots, with 10-15 minutes each, available for hourly performances.
