SUPPORT GIIYONG FESTIVAL 2023
Support First Nations Creative Culture
We are currently seeking donations to support First Nations visual artists, musicians, dancers, writers, presenters and performers to be part of the 2023 Giiyong Festival – the only First Nations multi-arts event in the south east region of NSW. Presenting partners Twofold Aboriginal Corporation, South East Arts and Eden LALC will again host this celebrated and award-winning event at Jigamy on 18 November 2023.
In the lead up to the festival, we will be working with a range of professional and emerging First Nations artists, as well as school and community groups to create a rich program that showcases the best of traditional and contemporary culture. A diverse range of projects will create original songs, spoken word, multi-media installations and dance performances.
