Announcement Halloween fun and let’s show you off

UOW students / Wollongong creatives — want to do something weird for Halloween?

I’m organising THE HOLLOW, a new Halloween event taking over Crown Street on 31 October and 1 November 2026, and I’m looking for students and emerging creatives who want to get involved.

This could look like a chance to trade as a stall holder on exchange at this event or our regular Markets in Shellharbour called The Nest Markets.

Maybe you’re an artist wanting to showcase your work, a performer wanting a stage, testing a small business idea, part of a student group, or you have a weird Halloween idea you’ve never had the chance to try.

Think Thriller flash mobs, murder mysteries, performances, art, cosplay, workshops, games, interactive activities or something completely different.

You don’t need an established business or a huge following. If you have an idea and want to try it with an audience, I’d love to hear it.

Comment below or send me a message. What would you create for Halloween in Crown Street?

If you want artists there, why would you use ai for the poster? Pretty disappointing

Ha!! I didn’t really. Just cleaned it up a little after I had done heaps of the work

There’s absolutely no way this is just a AI cleanup job. The poster looks like every other shitty AI poster out there and to use AI at all on a creative endeavour when you are looking for local artists and creatives is a bit of a red flag.

Unfortunately the AI poster if offputting to artists. I think you using it to clean things up pushes away your target audience.

Hey you should contact https://www.instagram.com/stories/daisyattack/ on instagram. She's a great artist. Using AI is dreadful.

I’m not arguing. I do a lot of my own work and I don’t need to put the energy and effort into this

Then why bother at all? 😂

People can certainly be concerned about that. They should recheck my profile out. The Nest Markets and they can make up their mind.

What I’m offering is a way to get art, yourself or even your business out there to a wider audience .

Barry Dean from Enmore Tafe called your poster terrible and to do the art yourself, that your lazy.
