BigLittleCity
Co run with Marc Heatley (graphic designer extraordinaire), BigLittleCity is an interactive art project celebrating the city of Cardiff. Many artists are producing unique pieces of work in a variety of mediums with the theme of their view/interpretation of the city. Many solo pieces will be exhibited on a rotation system whilst a collection of interactive projects will be at the event for the full duration and are open to all to participate.

- Spillers tee Shirt competition – design your own iconic Spillers tee and have your chance of winning a limited run, to be sold at the shop.
