City of Light – Next Gen.
On Friday 21 April 2023 Arts North West and Tamworth Regional Council delivered the 'City of Lights - Next Gen' event in the Fitzroy Street Plaza, Tamworth. The night was a terrific success, with over 500 people in attendance throughout the night, 8 new artworks were produced, two community workshops with over 100 people participating and over 25 people working in the creative industry were employed throughout the delivery of the event.
Congratulations to artists Daniel Stanley, Jayden Sampson-Waters, Ruben Mellor, Jayden Kitchener, Miranda Heckenberg and the students from the Tamworth Art Academy and Tamworth Regional Gallery Art After-hours class, who saw their artworks and animations projected onto the buildings in the plaza.
Lenny Waters provided a very moving ‘Welcome to Country’ and smoking ceremony, while Goldheist and Jane Stewart provided the soundscape for the event. Thank you to everyone who attended and helped us bring vibrancy and creativity into the Tamworth CBD. Together we transformed the urban streetscape for a night of fun, light and laughter.
