Melbourne’s Two Biggest Arts Festivals To Merge Into New Event

The Melbourne International Arts Festival, the city’s premier showcase for “high art,” and White Night, a late-winter outdoor festival, will unite into a new 18-day festival under a new name in August-September 2020. The joint artistic directors are Hannah Fox, who specializes in large-scale sound or visual installations, and Gideon Obarzanek, who founded Melbourne’s leading contemporary dance company, Chunky Move. – The Age (Melbourne)
