Echoes to the Outsiders Festival

One or two extremely versatile. Good to see a mixed selection. Thank you.

Great local talent - enjoyed the diverse works on show. Good luck with this idea and project.

Some interesting and inventive work.

Hi Stefan - quite a show! It was so good to see so much energy of creativity.

Some extraordinary works!

Ella Dent - some of the finest art which I had ever seen.

Absolutely wonderful art. Congratulations everyone!

Such thought and depth - absolutely beautiful.

I love Julie Stephen's bird paintings and witty titles.

Some very original works.

Help me God I'm drowning - so lovely - keep ya head up.

The art standard is hi.

Pivas - J. Stephens, what a future, WOW. Thank you for cheering up an old man.

Stefan, my sincere gratitude back, you have helped so many humble souls to display and enjoy each others art in a way that was not possible before. You did it solely from the goodness of your heart. That is why the Outsiders Festival in Adelaide was not only a success, but also a way for many to believe in their own art as relevant parts of their own creativity, for you shone that light by believing in their talents and befriending then as your peers. This is the true definition of community. I am so humbled and grateful to be part of this special group of individuals. Together, silently and non-physically we are evolving and we are quietly making a difference . With much love and thanks.

Leon Woods

Although I could not go to Stefan's Festival, I would just like to congratulate him on the magnificent job he has done. I would like to thank him very much for letting me take part in his festival and from what I hear it was a outstanding success. Proved all his critics wrong , and I will certainly be looking forward to next year. Thank you Stefan.

Julie Stephens

Well it was a really cool event Stefan so thank you!
