A new feature in 2009 was Performance Ephemera where individuals, small troupes and School groups  performed in parks and gardens around the city during the Carnival. Graphic artists  also had opportunities to demonstrate and display their works for sale.

Artists in Gardens

This program was a new feature of Avant Garden in 2009 with artists working in parks and gardens, interacting with the visitors to the gardens. Works on paper, board and canvas were produced on site, giving the public the opportunity to witness artists in action. As this project was held in spring, a time of renewal and regeneration, artists were asked to consider spring and carnival as an integral part of the project.
