We are having a BIG shindig and everyone is invited!
For the past 8 months a whole bunch of creative hands & good hearts have been collaborating/contributing/volunteering/stitching/stretching/imagining together an incredible collection of textile banners called “This Is Us” - beautiful, large storied pieces of art that playfully explore what it means to practice community together.
Over 300 people of diverse ages and abilities joined in this project! (Amazing!)
From Cobargo Folk Festival punters to Candelo Public School students to random folks on the street…so many hands helped bring this whimsical project to life.
The Candelo Arts Society is excited to have been able to make this big community art project happen and are super thankful for the financial support of the Mumbulla Community Foundation and Bega Valley Shire Community Grants Program that provided the funds to back it. Bega Valley Shire Council is also helping to support this most excellent celebration event through their Community Hall Odyssey project (thanks BVSC!).
We want to celebrate what our community has collaboratively created together AND celebrate our beautiful Candelo Town Hall where the finished banners will hang for our village to enjoy - what better way to do this than with a bush dance courtesy of our mates, the Kameruka Bush Orchestra!
Come and join us!
