BEHIND THE EVENT
Hey, I’m Katura
I am 14 years old and I have two passions in life.
One is art and the other is to bring education to developing nations.
Through this project I want to utilise the arts to raise funds to educate children in Mozambique.
In 2018 I visited Mozambique with Mission Educate to met three girls that I sponsor at the King of Kings school. I came home with a desire to do more. The idea of an Art Competition was born…..
A special thanks to…
Our main sponsors
Dust Temple sidles amongst industry, in between the beauty of Currumbin Alley and the magic of its Valley. She was an old warehouse with great bones and layers upon layers of industrial incarnations. With an avid hand and a creative mind that works overtime, owner John Wilson turned her on her head and opened it up as a space to explore the workings of creative minds. Our gallery hosts local, national and international artists, musicians and poets. Studio spaces house artists, a ceramicist, a leatherworker and silversmith along with a boutique foundry. With true open ended creativity we are connected to one another allowing creation rather than reproduction and repetition leading us to be in a constant state of evolution. From daytime coffee meet-ups, to evenings spent in great company Dust Temple will house you in a space unlike any other on the Coast. You are always welcome to return to Dust.
