Winter Base International Street Art & Music Festival
15 February 2010
Saturday 20 February: 2pm - 11pm
Sunday 21 February: 2pm - 6pm
Monday 22 February: 8am - 10am (Business Breakfast)
Winter Base, sponsored by Stratagem, is the first indoor street art festival of its kind.
It will be taking street art out of the cold and into the Ulster Hall, transforming the main space to accommodate a mini urban village of live painting, market stalls and music.
Featuring street artists from across Ireland, Britain and Europe, Base will be showcasing some of the finest underground artists creating work around European cities today, including Microbo and Bo 130 (Milan), Mr Kern (Bordeaux), Elph (Edinburgh), Ruse and Guy McKinley (Manchester) and many more.
Some of Belfast’s best and most original bands - Pocket Billiards, Cutaways, Nakatomi Towers, The Swell Time and Barry’s Electronic Workshop – will be playing alongside international artists all day Saturday and Sunday.
A special line-up for Saturday night features hotly tipped local music producer Space Dimension Controller, Choice Music prize winners Super Extra Bonus Party, and London electronic act, We Have Band.
Local artists will be selling arts and crafts on both Saturday and Sunday and there will be a range of food and drinks available.
All Base events are FREE.
You are invited to attend the main Base events on Saturday 20 and Sunday 21 February, as well as the Base Business Breakfast on Monday 22 February from 8am to 10am where you can purchase art for donation to a good cause or for your own organisation.
