Curated by OSCA Artistic Director Paul Gazzola, SUE’s diverse program offered the public an incredibly unique opportunity to experience and encounter adventurous art works that sparked curiosity, intrigue and joy.

Connected to the festival was a series of 2 x 2 day workshops titled TRANSFORMING EVERYDAY SITES that focused on temporary site-based art and place-making projects in public spaces. The workshops were open to artists, creatives, performers, art workers and other interested individuals of all ages and levels of practice.
