TIMEOUT FESTIVAL GARDEN
From 11am until late every day of Auckland Arts Festival 2015
The hub of the Festival, the TimeOut Festival Garden in the Heart of the City will be pumping out the good stuff every day and night of the Festival, as well as playing host to the spectacular Paradiso Spiegeltent. By far the best place to meet fellow Festival goers, spot artists and soak up the atmosphere, the TimeOut Festival Garden is great for eats, beats and brews of every description including Brancott Estate wines and Rekorderlig ciders.
Two art works have been commissioned especially for Auckland Arts Festival 2015, and will define the TimeOut Garden space, from 4 - 22 March.
Visitors will be rapt with Niki Hastings-MacFalls Fale Ula, a gorgeous installation of Samoan lei and native birdsong, bringing the Garden alive with colour and sound, and sponsored by the Manukau Institute of Technology.
It will be kept company by the mysterious characters in Lisa Reihanas stunning and provocative video work, Tai Whetuki:House of Death on the Gardens Big Silver Screen.
By day the TimeOut Festival Garden is Aucklands most brightly adorned family picnic spot; by night its perfect for a soiree under the stars.
iHEARTRADIO SOUND LOUNGE Free music nearly every day of Auckland Arts Festival 2015 will add to the atmosphere of the Garden: at lunchtimes, pre-shows in the early evening and in-between!
Jazz, indie-pop, Pasifika sounds, classical, soul, funk and New Orleans street music are ready to roll at the iHEARTRADIO Sound Lounge. With a mixture of emerging artists, fresh new musical flavours from across Auckland and more than a few extra surprises, you wont want to be anywhere else but at the iHEARTRADIO Sound Lounge.
FAMILY GARDEN TIME Every weekend of the Festival 10.30am to 12.30pm.
