Celebrating culture, food, and identity through a vibrant mix of exhibitions, workshops, and performances. The Blacktown Arts Spring Program is held at The Leo Kelly Blacktown Arts Centre and other venues, with this season offering something for everyone. We particularly love the sound of Ghosts in the Kitchen. Using illustration and mark-making, artist Merindah Funnell will guide young creatives through a workshop that offers First Nations perspectives on food, identity, and memory.
