Blu Art Xinja (Ninja) is a local street artist, well known for installing the iconic blue sculptural
pieces in and around Brisbane and whenever Blu travels to other cities or abroad. The goal
is to bridge the gap between grati and authorised public sculpture/art. Blu enjoys placing
pieces in hard to reach places, as well as very public areas, the brilliant blue contrasting
against the structures of the urban environment.
Blu’s work for the festival this year is his first ever public exhibition showcasing a variety of
works on display for viewing and purchase by the public. There is one catch though, this
exhibition time and location will not be published in the program. To visit this show you will
need to follow the clues on our social media, all we will say for now is that it is somewhere
in the CBD and it is not in a gallery.

Currently Emily is both a professional practicing artist and Director of The Third Quarter Gallery. 

Emily is fascinated by the convergence of realism and abstract, and uses contemporary collage techniques to emulate depth on two dimensional surfaces. Film photos of her immediate surrounds both provide backdrop and float amongst textured monotype prints and blurred digital imagery. Every wall is an opportunity to carefully explore, examine and express the contradictions associated with ritual, identity and analogue practices within the digital age. 

Developing her painting practice primarily through large-scale mural work over the last decade, Emily is entirely driven by the desire to connect with communities and formulate opportunities for diverse artists to thrive in a public context.
