Splendid sand makes for AWESOME art! 6 November 2008



If you think that sand only belongs at the beach, think again! The Perth Cultural

Centre will soon start to look very different when a team of International sand artists

use 40 tonnes of sand to create an exciting large-scale sculptural display, Sand Art

Park, as part of the 2008 AWESOME Festival.



Internationally acclaimed Netherlands sand artist, Hanneke Supply, will lead a team

of World-Champion sand artists in creating a sand design entitled “The Domino

Effect.” Hanneke’s work will feature domino-style stones with miniature people living

inside them, exploring the idea that one small change can make a huge difference in

society.



Hanneke invites young people into the Perth Cultural Centre to contribute to the

artwork in Sand Art Workshops. The AWESOME International Arts Festival for Bright

Young Things is on in the Perth CBD from 16-23 November. For more information
