Massive congratulations to this years ArtsLab WNW cohort Adam, Divya, Irelish and Anna for wrapping up their SECOND season here at The Joan in Penrith tonight. You’ve filled the building with poetry, soup, dancing, disco lights, dreamy shadows and childhood memories. Each work thrived in its own beautiful way and we couldn’t be more proud witnessing what you’ve accomplished by stretching and challenging yourselves 🥹
This is just the beginning. Go forth and make more art!
Shout out to @tylzfitzpatrick for driving production week like an absolute CAPTAIN. And thank you to Nat, Lily, Valentina and the whole @shopfront_arts team for taking us along for the ride.
See you again next year!
