Jim Everett puralia meenamatta
Uncle Jim has a vision that many in the community have been talking about for a long while. A dream for a cultural creative place in Tasmania, and a dream for the Tasmanian Aboriginal community to host a major international First Nations festival.
An event filled with culture, creativity and creative excellence; a gathering that gives our community an occasion to truly shine. However, an important part of turning this dream into a reality is to support our community artists and cultural practitioners to:
Get excited about sharing their work, ideas and passions,
Develop their practice, skills and capacity, and
Expand, reach beyond and think big…
That means that all of you who sit around your kitchen table singing up a storm, or who have a book filled with incredible art or stories but no one gets to see… Come out, connect up and help create this dream!
