Semi-Permanent 2008 Brisbane

Thursday, February 7th, 2008

Now I know this isn’t breaking news, however I thought it is was still worth a mention. The Semi-Permanent event is coming for the first time to Brisbane on 12 April 2008. It will be held at the Queensland Conservatorium / Griffith University (16 Russell Street, South Bank, Brisbane). Personally I believe Brisbane has an extrodinary base of creative people (and has had for some time), which is why I’m excited to see event’s such as Semi-Permanent join the party.
