THE inaugural Arts Alive Maleny Festival lived up to its billing of ‘curated artistic chaos’, organiser Steve McLeish said.
Calling the Friday (August 4) evening event a blast, Steve said he had “tears rolling down my cheek while watching so many people interacting or mesmerised with what was going on”.
“Thank you so so, much to the team who came together to help create the vision. What a dream team. We did it.”
From Lit Live at Rosetta Books to a sparkling, bubbling, energetic cauldron of music, poetry, dancing, visual arts, people could participate or simply absorb the dozens of activities taking place down Maple St.
“The feedback has been wonderful and I’m truly humbled by the support of the community,” Steve said.
While tickets were voluntary, Steve said anyone wishing to make a contribution was welcome, at artsalivemaleny.com.au.
