Well it's almost that time again... no, not Christmas... Halloween!
As much as we do understand that we are not in America... the thought of dressing up and running around, looking and being stupid for a night seems to really appeal to our..."creative" sides.
And what better place to do this then at the Insomnia Skate Comp & After party... In it's 6th year, this event is now notorious for being an unforgettable night, and not just because of all the alcohol consumed.

Registration is at 6pm with the Comp kicking off at 7pm... costumes are also mandatory so make sure have fun with it and really get involved.
We'll be catching you at the after party as 696 has a new solo show from the wonderful London based artist Nom Kinnear-King on from 6-9pm... featuring all new paintings FedExed fresh from London, we'll be celebrating our Halloween with Gypsy's, Nymph's and other beautiful women from Nom's Imagination.

Show runs until the 11th Nov.

Currently on at 696 is the amazing show "Telos" a solo show from Brisbane artist Aramas.
A collection of environmentally conscious pieces on reclaimed timber. Exploring the idea of Telos (the end purpose of each thing) in relation to how humans and environment interact. In particular what our end purpose is and the impact it will have on our environment. The pieces are animal focused, frequently assailed by relentless industry, as witnesses and casualty to our greed and selfish desire. Also 5% of sales will be donated to the wilderness society. We have chosen to extend this show until Thursday the 29th to allow more people to experience it's message.

A huge thankyou to all who came down, supported and gave generously to help raise money for CanTeen at this years Get Trucked event... over half the hats were sold although we still have few left that we'd love to go to great homes... the remaining caps are now available at 696,  at the low price of $60, with the proceeds still being donated to CanTeen and with the sunshine looking like it's here to stay investing in a one off cap couldn't have come at a better time.
