The MIC UPDATE - 130505 - Galatos, Galatos, Galatos...
YOYOYO, the news you've all been waiting for...
MIC at GALATOS
As of this week (we took possession on 050505 - how auspicious is that?) MIC's new home is Galatos at 17 Galatos St,
City. This marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter for MIC as well as for Galatos. Built in 1917, Galatos is a
character venue that MIC will utilise for cultural events - presenting media-art from film-makers, VJs, DJs, musicians
and sound artists.
With 6 years of hosting diverse events, Galatos has a reputation that dove-tails with MIC's 12 year history of
innovative media-arts practice. Galatos will continue to run as a night-time venue - but you'll be seeing much more in
the way of screenings, performances and installations over all 3 floors - and we'll all be here during the day.
MIC has solid long-term plans for this venue and we'll keep you informed as we move through this challenging and
exciting process. This is the beginning of something special and we appreciate your continual support. Come along and
have a drink at some stage in the next few weeks and keep an eye out for upcoming special MIC events as well as the
official launch in the not so distant future.
