BAYSIDE: Slow Art ‘captivates’ crowd
Crowds were captivated by an activation at the Slow Art Pavilion at Brighton Town Hall Gardens last Saturday (Apr. 12), according to a Council representative.
“The event opened with an Origami boat making workshop, which had children and adults alike engaged in the ancient Japanese art of paper folding, before launching their boats in the Town Hall pond. Children’s faces lit up as they watched their creations sail away, before playing with other water-based activities,” the representative said.
“Meanwhile, the Slow Art Pavilion was filled with people participating in mindful making, adding their creations to the Pavilion and yarn drawing board. Some people took time out to relax in the beanbags with a book, or marvel at the colourful creations above, while others got involved in drawing activities.
“As the afternoon set in, crowds began to gather with their picnic blankets and snacks for the twilight picnic. Set amongst twinkling lights, visitors were treated to beautiful melodies by Mila and Lucas and Callisto Strings.
“A real highlight of the afternoon was the appearance of Escarglow, giant 3m tall snails who roamed the gardens, enchanting visitors and capturing the attention of all.”
