The Artist Farmer Scientist newspaper has arrived!

The Artist Farmer Scientist newspaper has arrived!

It’s 56 pages long, raw and wriggling, and it has a free pull-out poster. We have finally published the newspaper that tells the story of ‘An artist, a farmer and a scientist walk into a bar’, and we’d love to share it with you.

Land Studio in the Capertee Valley

Land Studio in the Capertee Valley

A little while back, 21 creative art students from the Uni of Wollongong camped in the Capertee Valley. They were there to help kickstart a new KSCA project called Land Studio, in which we’re blurring the boundaries between art, farming and land regeneration.

Wouldn’t we all wish to have a pilot license at the age of 87 and be inventing remarkably useful things. Meet the indomitable Allan Yeomans and hear about Lucas’s journey into soil carbon sequestration toolmaking in our latest video.

AN ARTIST, A FARMER AND A SCIENTIST WALK INTO A BAR… [A SERIOUS COMEDY IN ONE ACT]

“In every true artist, or farmer, or scientist there is a spark, as precious as that first tiny spark with which life itself began…” Louis Bromfield, 1951

Sparks flew last year when Rick Hutton from The Living Classroom in Bingara proposed to stage a play inspired by KSCA’s AFS Project at Bingara’s dazzling Roxy Theatre. Rick’s vision was to use theatre to introduce the project to the community in the New England region of NSW.

What a rollicking good idea we said!

We are delighted to announce that this spark ignited some very creative work. In just a few weeks, the North West Theatre Company will host the launch dinner for our project. Their production will be complemented by a locavore’s feast fit for carnivore and herbivore alike. Dinner and a show!

KSCA wild foods guru Diego Bonetto will work with stylist Marnie Fox, local caterers Friends of Touriandi, and farmer Glenn Morris of Figtree Organic Farms to feed the multitudes. Several of the AFS Project artists will be there to share their brand new collaborative projects with the audience. We can’t wait! Come join us – tickets are limited!

Where: The Roxy Theatre, 74 Maitland street, Bingara, NSW

When: 7.00pm, Saturday 5th May 2018.

How much: $50 per person for “dinner and a show”. BYO Drinks.
