The Ark

The Solar Culture Ark, or simply The ARK, is a multipurpose community asset. It will allow off-grid cultural events to be held in remote or unusual places.

Imagine a Jazz concert in a cow paddock, an art festival on the beach, or a poetry night in our town streets. The Ark can be a stage, an exhibition place, a production office, an art workshop or simply a base for safe storage. We have fitted out a 6 m. shipping container with its own solar powered electrical supply, basic staging infrastructure, an internal storage system as well as tables, chairs and a workbench.

The fit out can be expanded on, to create temporary smaller size cultural event.

The ARK is a vessel that contains the possibility for almost every artistic expression of humankind, waiting to be let out so we can have the means to sail and land anywhere.
