Pencil Paste-Up – 3rd December onwards
Festival artist teethlikescrewdrivers' Pencil Hunt has gifted pencils, and by extension a tool for creativity, to intrepid explorers - now is the time to put them (or any other tool) to use! The artist will paste a large pencil template to the Paste-Up wall at the Dance-O-Mat site (215 Manchester Street), an invitation for you to contribute your own piece of little street art to the festival - it might be a name, a phrase, a character or a doodle - let your creative juices flow!
