Our next art exhibition, Emerge, is happening next Saturday, and we've only sold about half of our discounted tickets!
So if you've been thinking about coming, we'd really love it if you could grab your ticket sooner rather than later.
It helps us figure out the practical stuff, like how much food to prepare, drinks to organise and how many volunteers we'll need on the day.
These exhibitions take A LOT of work to put together, and many of those hours are donated rather than traditionally paid with the cash monies.
Now that we're officially a not-for-profit, we're looking into grants that might help us make future exhibitions more accessible and sustainable. But for now, we're covering the costs ourselves.
So I guess my question is, will you support us?
We're really keen to make these exhibitions happen at least twice a year. They're such a wonderful opportunity for our own community and the wider Western Sydney creative community.
Some of our artists have been exhibiting for years. For others, this will be the very first time they've had their work displayed publicly.
And I think that's pretty dang special.
We often talk about wanting more art, music and culture in our local area, but the only way these things can keep happening is if we actually show up and support them.
Whether that's buying a ticket, bringing a friend, purchasing a piece of art or simply being there to appreciate what these creatives have put together.
So, here's everything you need to know.

And if you can't make it, sharing the event with someone who might be interested would mean a lot to us too.
We're really proud of what these exhibitions are becoming, and we'd love to keep doing them for years to come.
Looking forward to sharing the afternoon with you next Saturday.
