In response to recent floods, the festival aims to celebrate resilience and foster connectedness through innovative storytelling and local activations.
All enthusiastic individuals, artists, creatives and community members, particularly First Nations people, young people and people from diverse cultural backgrounds or people with disability are invited to submit an expression of interest.
Mayor Rob Amos highlighted that creative and artistic pursuits are powerful tools for bringing people together.
“Arts and creativity play a crucial role in the recovery process,” he said.
“They provide a means for individuals to express their emotions, connect with others, and find solace during challenging times.”.
Participants in the Co-Design Groups will be paid to collaborate with a diverse team to develop creative activities, contribute innovative ideas, and assist in program delivery.
Initial meetings will be held at the Rochester Library on Wednesday, October 9 and 23, from 5.30pm to 7.30pm and at the Echuca Library on Thursday, October 10 and 24, from 5.30pm to 7.30pm.
