Arts OutWest, the regional arts development organisation for the NSW Central West, has been working across the NSW Central West for 50 years. Over this time, the regional service organisation has been committed to promoting, facilitating, educating and advocating for arts and cultural development in the region.
To commemorate this significant milestone, Arts OutWest invites artists and supporters to join them for a fun cabaret style anniversary dinner at Forbes Town Hall on Saturday 1st June.
A line up of entertainment from the region, hosted by Carcoar-based performer Tim Hansen, curated by musician Rob Shannon (from Forbes, living in Bathurst), Bathurst country folk duo Great Aunt making up a house band performing throughout the night – leaving time to chat and mingle too.
“Expect some quirky, quality performances with a very distinct Central West flavour – and a few surprises,” Rob Shannon said.
Three art exhibitions will open on the night including work by the Forbes Arts Society, work by Arts OutWest staff, board and advisory council members, and photography from Arts OutWest’s media associates program.
Guests are encouraged to dress for the party, with outfits reflecting the talents of the region. “Pop on a locally made outfit, hat, or pair of earrings and join Arts OutWest as we celebrate 50 years of artistic excellence, community engagement, and cultural enrichment in the NSW Central West,” Ms Jolly said.
Tickets are $110 per person and include a complimentary drink upon arrival. Single tickets and tables of 8 are available. Tickets available from Humanitix or via the artsoutwest.org.au website
