Artists

We are looking for creative ideas, theatrical performances, and captivating artworks to temporarily transform the natural landscape of the Nepean River and the river foreshore.

Successful ideas, performances and installations will form part of the festival’s weekend program as a celebration of River, Environment, Arts & Lifestyle.  

Real aims to engage, inspire curiosity and create bold and memorable experiences for festival patrons and we are seeking creatives, visual artists, producers, innovators, performers, designers and anyone with big creative ideas to submit their concepts.
