IT'S the biggest annual gathering of young media makers, musicians, artists and writers in Australia and it is held here in Newcastle.
THIS IS NOT ART will officially kick off today and continue until Monday, with a mind-boggling number of events and activities.
Host to THE NATIONAL YOUNG WRITERS FESTIVAL, ELECTROFRINGE, THE NATIONAL STUDENT MEDIA CONFERENCE, SOUND SUMMIT and RADIO ACTIVE, this year's event looks set to be one of the biggest.
On a musical scale, Sound Summit and Electrofringe have an inspiring number of events planned over five days.
