Why a city car park is turning into Canberra’s coolest art venue: introducing ARTPARK

Key points

• An art event called ARTPARK will take over a car park on Nangari Street in Canberra on Saturday 17 October, from 7.30 pm. Organisers Claudia Hunt and Riley Curtain say the event features 25 creatives across three floors, with art installations, an exhibition space and a dance floor with live music and DJs.
• The founders run MOONLIGHTING, a small project that pays emerging artists and helps them sell their work.
• Both organisers say the event is aimed at artists as much as the public.
