Either side of a 6 lane city street are private galleries and musicians and a festive food fair and fantastic design store, all overseen by two cops in the middle of the road guiding art-goers with necessary care between venues.
The highlight was the 1708 not-for-profit space with puff-blown (ours) and motion-sensored pieces of marine materials formed into such satisfying shapes. A relief after J's sweaty-hand interaction with some shiny photographs - we exited at speed. An earthy, mythical installation at the ADA gallery almost had potential, particularly its watercolour animal bunting.
Then we roamed free in the outdoor food market for sweet pizza (Nutella, strawberries and cream) and South African red wine grown locally in Gum Springs by Dion and family. In the darkness the lights twinkled, the Mormons handed out hot chocolate and a family gave us home-baked nougat - this certainly wasn't your regular art trawl.
