Thanks to wonderful sponsorship from the Southern Downs Industry Education Association we are able to provide a full day of workshops and fun on 30th April. This day will be organised for and by young people. More details soon.
Junk orchestra, lantern and craft workshops and a day of youth activities are all set to go ahead thanks to support from the Regional Arts Development Fund a partnership between the Queensland Government and Southern Downs Regional Council supporting local arts and culture. The workshops will be taking place just prior to the festival and we will see the results at Peace in the Park on Sunday May 1st. The Youth Day will be all happening on Sat 30th April.
The Peace Festival Committee is working with Roger Knox on the development of a two-day Aboriginal Music Showcase to be held at Peace Festival 2011. This aims to encourage the enormous talent of our local Aboriginal population in the area of music and art and to share it with the broader community. The project will also involve an exchange with talented communities at Toomelah and Boggabilla. More on this project soon!
