The New Annual Festival in New Castle is all about building the arts and cultures sector to showcase Newcastle as a creative hub. The festival will be held from the 23rd of September till the 2nd of October 2022. There will be multiple events and programs for everyone to enjoy, such as Van Gogh Alive, a multi-sensory experience that immerses you in Van Gogh’s artworks and This Land, a First Nations celebration of the many nations of this country. Our host Maddy chatted to Councillor Carol Duncan, Chairperson of City of Newcastle’s Community and Culture Advisory Committee about the festival.
