Now in its seventh year, Canberra’s You Are Here festival is a five-day showcase and celebration of art which has played a profound significance in the Canberra arts landscapes.

Encompassing a curated showcase of independent and experimental arts in the heart of Canberra, the festival highlights primarily new works created by ACT, interstate and international artists, under the unique restraints of the city environment. The free events will take over Canberra CBD to engage, entertain and intrigue audiences.
