Jason Marinko, CEO of Little Creatures says “As a proud Fremantle business Little Creatures Brewing is pleased to be partners with another great Fremantle organisation in this prestigious, national award.”The sponsorship has resulted in increased prize money; $10,000 for the winning work, which is acquired by the City of Fremantle Art Collection; new prize category initiated by Little Creatures of $6,000 for acquisitions for its Collection; the non-acquisitive prize is $3,000.

Kaleidoscope
An exhibition of photography by David Garland,
Subway tunnels, Stations and Train Yards.
25th July – 12th August.

Kaleidoscope presents a series of photographs that expose the secrets of a deep, dark and luminous underground world.

Photographed in London, Prague, Rome, New York, Kuala Lumpur, Copenhagen, Paris and Istanbul, David captures the true beauty of these empty, lonely places, allowing his audience a rare glimpse at
an environment usually seen only by a handful of workers, homeless and graffiti writers.

This is a wonderful oppurtunity to view beautiful images from around the world, from cities that few of us ever have the chance to visit and from locations that only the truly intrepid go to sight-see.

Keith and Lottie invites you to come explore with opening drinks on Wednesday the 25th of July from 6pm.Kaleidoscope runs until the 12th of August 2007, Seven days a week 11am – 6pm.
