For over a decade, This is Not Art has been serving up the kind of art and media that lies outside the ambit of Australia's traditional cultural calendar. From graffiti on a Newcastle high-rise to the genredefying long-weekend that it is today, TiNA has come a long way in recent years.
Now a staple festival in the nation's art scene, TiNA continues to call Newcastle home and each year it delivers the kind of economic and cultural benefits that have inspired CNNGo to dub Newcastle, Australia's new arts capital.
Join our host for the night Luke Ryan, the festival directors and our entire TiNA crew at the Great Northern Hotel (TiNA's Festival Club for 2012) in Newcastle, to preview what is in the mix for the festival this year.
