About
The Nati Frinj Biennale is a three-day visual art and performance festival in Natimuk, deep in the wheatbelt of Western Victoria. Held in late October to early November Nati Frinj Biennale has forged a reputation for making outstanding, innovative and often audacious art projects. It is an important platform to showcase local artists, and invite other artists to come and play, to experiment and collaborate.
From the opening parade to aerial performances, visual art exhibitions to street installations, new theatre works to walking tours, the Nati Frinj is a chance to celebrate and express the creative energy of Natimuk and our invited artists.

Who are we
The Nati Frinj is developed by the Festival Director who is governed by a committed group of volunteers on the ACT Natimuk Executive Committee. Nati Frinj is a major program for ACT Natimuk who’s vision is to support arts over a broader range of disciplines, including dance, visual arts and film.
The Nati Frinj Biennale takes many creative minds and lots of hands, so in the lead up to the Frinj, other roles join the small dedicated Frinj team including a Production Officer and Community Engagement Officer. Our festival relies on a dedicated and passionate volunteer base who bring essential skills and surprising talents while making a vital contribution to the Festival team. The festival could not happen without them.
