A group of local artists from the hinterland region come together as a gathering of neighbors to share their stories, songs and dance, including a display of sculptures, jewelry artifacts and paintings, representing the coming together of cultural exchange. The display is sure to tantalize your senses for the arts and culture.

Join us to celebrate.

 

‘This year the theme highlights Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ strong spiritual and cultural connection to land and sea. The theme is an opportunity to pay respects to country; honour those who work tirelessly on preserving land, sea and culture and to share the stories of many sites of significance or sacred places with the nation.

As the oldest continuing culture on the planet, the living culture of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people is intrinsically linked with these sacred places. Sacred places can be geographic feature like a river or lake, a beach, bays, inlets, hills or a mountain ranges or ceremonial grounds, galleries of rock art or engravings or places used for gathering for cultural practices.’
