Happenstance Giveaway
Happenstance Magazine is an independent Sydney-based print publication, which doesn’t forsake style for substance or substance for style. It’s all about making things happen; art, design ,music and the written word, as well as the people who create them.
What started as a bit of fun, has eventuated into an awesome independent magazine.
Happenstance recently launched their first issue, including stories on Sydney’s Independent galleries, bikes and a glimpse into the bedroom of Sydney artist James Jirat Patradoon.
It is a limited edition publication, with each issue individually numbered. And our friend Aaron, art director of Happenstance has given us 5 copies to give away to 5 lucky winners.

Jarrah Flanagan Exhibition
In Sydney and free tommorow night?? Jarrah is a second year Fine Arts student majoring in sculpture/ installation at COFA. Having experimented with jewellery making, papier-mâché, metal casting and textiles over the last year, she has produced a variety of collages and wearable art pieces that possess a fantastical, self-consciously kitsch aesthetic. These works explore our perpetual, cross cultural desire to imitate wealth and status, particularly in light of democratic freedoms and mass production, and how this relates to ancient customs of immortalization. Riveting stuff? Or just like it because it looks pretty. Come along and play dress ups!
