Award Winning Live Art Festival Returning to Wellington

Award Winning Live Art Festival Returning to Wellington Waterfront

The Performance Arcade is an annual Live Art mini-festival and programme of free events located on Wellington Waterfront. Using a series of architecturally arranged shipping containers, the Arcade creates a string of spaces for installation, performance art, sonic art, audio-visual art, interactive media, culinary art and live music.

Winner of Best Visual Arts, Best Outdoor Show, and Best Production Design at the NZ Fringe Festival, The Performance Arcade returns to its home on Wellington Waterfront behind Te Papa from 2-6 March 2016.

Artistic Director Sam Trubridge has selected a line-up of 18 exciting new works, both local and international, from seasoned Arcade artists to first time participants. Works housed in individual containers, works that travel along Wellington Waterfront, live music from afternoon to evening - the Arcade offers sites for the public to engage in contemporary art and performance practices, while enjoying a beverage from our bar and food stalls.

This is an invitation to discover, play, interact, discuss, and imbibe outside of the typical constraints of gallery or theatre space; to experience personal artistic encounters, live music, and AV installations under the night skies. Hours are 10am - 11pm.
