After watching Horizon come together from the back seat, Brendon’s now stepping into the crowd with his top picks for this year’s festival.

Typefaces, brand colours, digital templates, and visual identities are Brendon Ginnane’s bread and butter. With over fifteen years of experience in visual communication and creative direction – and as the creative mind behind Horizon’s bold new brand identity, we thought, who better to ask for a few festival picks?

Opening Night Street Party
Ocean Street shut-down! The perfect choose-your-own-adventure on a Friday night. Ease into the festival with a tasting plate of feature acts.

Skywhales Across Australia
Potential to be a once in a lifetime experience. Patricia Piccinini's monumental work floating through the sky on the Sunshine Coast!? Incredible! Also, free 😊

Local Contemporary Art Prize
Locals Only (artists that is). The Local Contemporary Art Prize is in its eleventh year of championing, developing and investing in our local art scene.

Supperclub Mapleton - Dining Experience
Just as you'd pair a nice wine with a nice meal. Pair your Supperclub experience with a deeper understanding of where your dinner was grown with an afternoon guided tour of The Falls Farm - which supplies Mapleton Public House.
