The town of Collie's major art festival has a new name. What was once the Griffin Festival of the Arts is now called .

Collie has a lot planned for this year. It will be a celebration of art, community and culture. It will be on from 8th to the 17th of September. There will be so much to see and do.

There will be a street fair, an art competition, workshops, a street art installation, a performing arts completion and a writers' festival. The street fair is expected to attract thousands of visitors to Collie. It will include face painting, a climbing wall, a caricaturist, children's entertainers, bouncy castles, a busker's corner and a street market in Collie Central Park.

Earthbound Art will be there to promote WA Rocks. WA Rocks encourages kids to paint rocks and then hide them in public spaces for other people to find. Earthbound Art will assist kids in making their own rock art to leave somewhere.
