ChillOut 2024 : connect with our local arts community

We love curating some special events to coincide with ChillOut each year. Sharing our creative side to the world is at the heart of what we do at Radius! Head on down and join us for a range of artful fun.

  • Peter Sparkman Exhibition. Peter has been part of the local art scene for over 30 years. He has been photographing ChillOut for over 10 years and had his first solo exhibition for the Ballarat International Foto Biennale in 2023. His images offer visual insights into the lives, loves and interactions of the creative and queer communities. His Black & White images are reminiscent of 70’s Time Life magazine. Candidly documenting life through the lense his images provide audiences with a rich empathic view into queer creative rural life.

Yoga with YogaYew

  • The Book of Divergence is a DJ performance with a major twist! This musical story meets voice acting and dungeons and dragons in a choose-your-own-adventure tale that asks the audience to pick not only the chapter of the book being played, but what direction that story will go! 

Led by the chaotic, fruity, DJ, MC, Voice Actor and Leather Man, Matt Frequencies, expect sass, laughs, heroic moments, devastating feels and plenty of sex positive allegory within!

    This performance is for suggested ages 18+.
