Party Like It's 2009

It's officially open! After more than 18 months in design and construction, Lightspace finally went public last Thursday night in a style befitting its creative focus. Around 500 invited guests found their way to the top end of Light Street in Fortitude Valley for the event, and Lightspace owner John Macdonald made sure it was THE party to be at.
In the downstairs event spaces, a live DJ provided the soundtrack for the evening (80's remixed for the noughties) whilst street artists from Joshua Levi galleries got to work on outside walls and models (rumoured to be professional ballet dancers by day) promenaded before the crowd.
Upstairs, the brand new Studios were unveiled to the public for the first time, featuring light installations by artist Mary-Anne Kyriakou and of course our very own architecture. Check back soon for proper photos of the completed building, but in the meantime there's a nice little selection over at the Lightspace website.
