So after the nervous and seemingly endless wait from 5.45pm to 6pm for the start of Brain Jam with a room full of no-one, we actually had a pretty impressive turnout.

25 artists and writers turned up and filled the room as we gingerly announced our initial thoughts for the festival.

We went around the table and got artists suggestions and got some really interesting ideas from it. Some of our ill formed preconceptions were blown to smithereens and other ideas really loved by everyone.

It was a pretty inspiring session, getting together so many big names in the one room.

So, lets just say that we’re all pretty fucking excited about pulling this thing together now.

Here’s a list of the ideas the came out of it for the proposed program of events:

* Urban art walking tour

* Street art projections and film night

* Street art / Graffiti Workshop for all ages

* Panel debate on Urban art

* Mural painting (the best of the best of Adelaide artists)

* Exhibition (of hand made and customised street dumpster models)

* T-shirt party (everyone wears white t-shirts and gets them painted up)

Next on the agenda is working up a logo and character for the festival.
