K’ Road’s
late night art festival First Thursdays, just gets better. With 25 venues, including galleries, cafes
and performance spaces participating across the length of the street next month
on 2 August, attendees are promised a sensual extravaganza.
Taking
pride of place in St Kevin’s Arcade will be the Auckland Zinefest – a market where
self- published small magazines are exhibited for sale. A few doors down the road at the Bizdojo
Makerspace, a workshop covering the A-Z of zine making will be in progress.
Across the
road in K’ Road’s Ironbank complex, local community group Tangleball will be demonstrating
what a combination of a few old bike parts and a bit of creativity can produce
at their Bike Rodeo display.
Moving
eastward to the top of Queen St and the steps of the Auckland Baptist
Tabernacle a series of light projections onto the façade of this towering Roman-inspired
building will be awing spectators.
Foxes craft
market will be firing up in their new location at Cross St Arcade (a.k.a. the
walkway to the K’ Road car park at 214 K Road) while a fleet of tuk tuks will
be available to ferry people between the plethora of photographic and art
exhibitions being staged in the precinct’s galleries.
Watch out for
pop-up fashion shows and a meandering art bike tour to boot. For the full programme of First Thursdays –
