StoryArts Festival Ipswich 1995 – 2021 The biennial Story Arts Festival Ipswich began as The Ipswich Festival of Children’s Literature in 1995 providing FREE sessions for children and families. The festival aims to increase an awareness of the value of the arts in relation to writing and illustration and help build and maintain increased audiences for children’s literature. We plan to inspire young people to buy and read more books and gain an appreciation of the processes involved in writing and illustrating. We also aim to enthuse teachers and parents about the value of stories and encourage them to promote literature to young people. The Festival is organized by the Ipswich District Teacher-Librarian Network. This program is supported by Ipswich Libraries and an Ipswich City Council sponsorship. The Festival will be officially opened on Sunday 1 August at the Ipswich Community Gallery where there will be an exhibition of illustration by local artist Lee Fullarton of her new book Mr Chippa the Woodblock Carver of Bagru alongside an exhibition of illustrations created by local students in response to Lee’s work. Family Program: This year the festival is again offering a program catering for families after school Monday 2 August to Thursday 5 August. Meet authors, Do activities, Have fun! Topics include: Creating a Mystery – A writing workshop, Let's Get Moooooving: A whole herd of hands-on activities, Woodblocks and Rangoli from India, Midnight at the Museum – Creating a specimen, Creating Comics, a Bluey and Bingo Inspired party and for the adults there will be a Q&A with an animator and writer of Bluey. Attendance is free but bookings are essential as spaces are limited. Bookings can be made online for all sessions at Ipswich Libraries. Venue: 1 Nicholas Street, Level 1 Book Shops Children always get a great deal of pleasure in buying books and having them signed by the authors and illustrators they have met.
