Inner-city twist of fete

WONDER101! featured a stellar lineup of local artisans and performers. There were fortune-tellers, badge-makers and poets. Participating artists and designers included Daniel Boyd, Elke Jewellery, Rittenhouse Vanishing Elephant, Romance Was Born, P.A.M, Benah. All were enlisted on the proviso that they not sell standard fare, but dare to create something wonderful.

Art in the building’s basement and music in the rafters was coupled with food and beverage from the Norfolk Hotel and the Runcible Spoon, with a coffee stand by the Golden Cobra.

All proceeds of WONDER101! go to the Girls & Boys Brigade, a 130 year-old local charity in Surry Hills that provides a safe place, activities, practical life skills and education support to create a brighter future for local inner-city children in need of a helping hand.
