Woohoo for RMIT Union [ARTS], not only do you guys organize the best excursions I've been on since primary school (at damn good subsidized prices too I might add!!) through the Linking Up program, offer free lunch time cinema on Wednesday's at the Kaleide Theatre, let your friends in on the most up-to-date art-scene goss through your ARTS MAGNET newsletters, but by god the opening night parties you throw at FIRST SITE GALLERY are just so much fun! Of course, there are many, many more advantages for those who befriend the Union [ARTS] crew, including funding for your arts projects or collectives, RMIT Student Film Awards, dance programs, they provide the opportunity for those with a 1/2 decent set o' lungs to get up and belt out a tune for RMIT Idol, and even offer the inexperienced the chance to perform on stage in the upcoming Melbourne FRINGE Festival!!
On a side note, the Melbourne FRINGE Festival are currently looking for volunteers to help the festival run smoothly (just something I thought you might like to know!), they're offering full training, including R.S.A., full supervision on shift, your very own souvenir T-Shirt and you'll get to rub shoulders with all those important industry types while gaining insight into how an arts festival is run.
Anyways, back to returning the love! Having spotted the pics and "review" of Hayley Scilini and Amanda Airs Exhibition Opening I posted earlier in the week, the Union ARTS super cats, have linked to my "review" in their much better worded review of this wonderful show. And I would just like to say I love 'em for it, and that that they are indeed friends worth making.
Oh and just for the record, I concur that Reading Room Fashion Critiques should most definitely become an ongoing fixture at First Site Opening Nights, perhaps we could feature interviews with some of the stars? However, I digress.
If by chance you're unsure of where to find these wonderful people, here are some of the best places to start;
Their page on the RMIT Student Union's LAUNCH website
