Sustainability is about working together and creating long-term relationships within community, business and  government.  

Plans for the Festival's "CREATE"  theme  this year will extend  from the main stage down to the river bank. The program will explore a range of exhibitions, forums and performance  including, humanity, identity, diversity and community tradition.   Like last year artists from around Australia will submit their work  within these areas.   (see below the introduction to  how artists  can submit their work)   Its is my hope that we have visual artists, musicians, dance, film makers,  fashion designers, multi-media artists and performance artists across the site from all over Australia and the regional including NZ.  

With 40,000 people attending last years event and an expected 60,000 this year, we want the festival visitors to recognise both historical and contemporary art and artistic practice is, and continues to be, an effective vehicle to express and  strengthen  a healthy, vibrant culture and community.  

Your promotion of  the Festival  program  would bring the audience closer to  this  essential  aspect of sustainability, and contribute to our vision for  the arts.
