The Sandy Creek Weekender was the flagship summer event for Soup Athletica, held in a remote locality with a population of 179. Blurring the lines between a cycling, arts and cultural event, the “Weekender” turned the local memorial hall into a destination in it’s own right across two sold-out days.
The program included poetry recitals, a series of bike rides through the region, and group exhibition featuring photographic, video, audio and sculptural work by 22 artists from Australia and Europe. Curated supper, breakfast and lunch menus were cooked on-site, brought alive through hyper-local produce, sourced no more than 40km from the hall.
The exhibition identity celebrated the offering of art, food and activity. The palette referenced local sporting colours, and a simple use of grids were employed to create a broad suite of event collateral that was contemporary but importantly approachable for the local audience.
