Today is the final day of KOTE 2010 Events... so if you havent gotten a chance to partake in "Love Art and Liberation", here are a few activities scheduled for today. Event Schedule

In these difficult times, artists face challenges in creating work that are not only exemplary, but also affordable. Today at The $15,000 Art Challenge at Oakton House, 5-7 Hagley Park Road, 1:00pm to 3:30pm, see locals take up the challenge of submitting works of art whose selling price do not exceed the $15,000 mark.
