Central Coast charity You Connect, which provides programs, supports and housing for people with disabilities and mental health diagnoses, has two big events coming up.
A NAIDOC celebration day will be held on Wednesday, June 28, from 8am-2pm at the Gosford centre, 24 Glennie St West.
The event will be a day to celebrate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures.
There will be a smoking ceremony and acknowledgement of Country followed by indigenous painting, games and traditional music with Kyle Freeman, a Wiradjuri man.
The group will also hold an exhibition, I Shine, on Friday, June 23, at The Entrance Gallery in Battley Ave.
The arts fiesta will be held from 5-8pm and continue online thereafter.
People are invited to submit paintings, photographs, drawings, sculptures, dances, songs, and videos – anything that makes them shine – for inclusion in the exhibition, with submissions closing on June 19.
The opening night fiesta will include music and food, along with the amazing artworks.
A group of local professional artists from the Five Strings Collaborative will give feedback to all artists on the night.
