This Is Not Art - known to friends as TiNA - is a national emerging arts festival with a focus on independent, emerging and experimental art practices.
Since 1998 thousands of people have gathered in Newcastle's CBD each year to share ideas, test work, and meet like-minded creatives and potential collaborators.
Now after almost a quarter of a century, the TiNA Festival will take its first steps forward as the centrepiece of offerings from an evolved organisation with a clear and consistent purpose.
