Underwater sounds, opera among antiques, digital art workshops, plays and poetry have been introduced so far, and there’s more to come when the festival guide is launched on Friday, February 28.
Details of over 40 events will be announced at 171 Fryers St in Shepparton, including many free and low-cost options to make art more accessible.
“At a time when families are really feeling the cost of living, the festival provides a great opportunity to try something new, whether that is comedy, painting, dancing or visiting an art exhibition or market,” festival director Kristen Retallick said.
“This year’s festival has a huge range of programs that we’re really proud to be delivering in collaboration with incredible artists and producers.”
In addition to providing insights into the festival, the guide launch allows attendees to book tickets for popular shows.
The festival team will be on hand to assist with ticket sales and inquiries from noon to 7pm, while Ms Retallick will lead discussions with several featured artists at noon and 6pm.
“The Shepparton Festival provides a glimpse of what Shepparton means to artists and what art means to Shepparton,” Ms Retallick said.
“It’s the sort of community event that has enjoyed huge success in past years and just gets better the more people dive in and sample the program.
“We can’t wait to share more details about the program when our festival guide is launched on Friday.”
The Shepparton Festival will begin on April 4 and continue until April 13.
