Alternative Festival of Arts

The founding event of the Alternative Arts Festival is the POETRY PICNIC - which found a home at Pioneer Park in Norton St, Leichhardt - when the local Council gave the organisers (UPE) some Seed Funding. The Poetry Party is an ongoing group that does other gigs (such as in cafes and at other community Festivals). We hope to put our a CD of us reading our poems and a CD Rom (and/or DVD) - when we have editing down a bit better.

POETS are urged to contact us through our email address: odd_job_centre@hotmail.com - leaving their contact details to get priority on reading at the POETRY PICNIC - which we video tape fior possible community TV broadcast (or at least for a DVD and screenings at the AAF Underground Cinema event. Our AAF Hotline number is also available - but with a spoken message facility. We acknowledge assistance from Leichhardt Council for venue assistance. They gave a seed Funding grant to help start the Festival 9 years ago.
