Casey arts lovers are encouraged to brave the cold conditions and take advantage of the upcoming offerings as part of the 2023 Winter Arts Festival.
Now in its 21st year and with the theme of ‘lighting up winter with creativity’, the festival will be held at venues across Casey from Thursday 15 June until Sunday 30 July.
The festival will include light shows over Anniversary Lake at Wilson Botanic Park in Berwick and the Lost Dogs’ Disco, a temporary sculpture at Bunjil Place which celebrates the place of dogs in our lives, as well as a range of school holiday options to keep children’s imaginations active during the winter holidays.
Casey Council community life director Callum Pattie said the festival will encourage the community to engage with art in new and unique ways.
“Every offering in the program is by the community or made for the community,” he said.
“The festival has a packed program of more than 60 events for all ages, either free or low cost, including Seussical — a fun filled extravaganza to entertain the young and the young at heart, and For Our Elders — short documentary honouring and capturing the stories of Aboriginal Elders in the south east.
“Berwick District Woodworkers (BDWWC) Annual Expo will also be held and will include live demonstrations, children’s activities, and chainsaw carving.”
