Bringing together creative pursuits inspired by surf culture
Bleach* Surfing The Fringe will celebrate all art forms kissed by the ocean, encrusted in salt and bleached by the sun.

From 11-26 February 2012, music, art, writing, film and photography sharing the common theme of surfing will be on display across the iconic beaches and venues of the Southern Gold Coast.

Ever-changing and fluid like the ocean, the festival will eschew traditional gallery settings in favour of a series of beachside and casual indoor pop up events liberally scattered across the coast, including art housed in shipping containers, mobile music truck concerts, children’s workshops, a street festival, and outdoor light shows and cinematic experiences. Hover over map icons on this page to see short event descriptions and dates, or click Events to see the complete festival calendar.

From the spectacular natural rock formations at Currumbin to Coolangatta’s iconic pointbreaks, the Southern Gold Coast’s visually stunning shoreline and world-class waves will provide the quintessential backdrop for a celebration of surfing’s vibrant fringe culture.

So slap your sunscreen on and get suited up. It’s time to hit Bleach* Surfing the Fringe.
