NAIDOC WEEK EVENTS, 6 - 13 July

NAIDOC Week 2025 marks a powerful milestone- 50 years of celebrating First Nations culture, strength, and sovereignty.

This year’s theme, ‘The Next Generation: Strength, Vision & Legacy’, invites us to honour the trailblazers of the past while celebrating the energy and leadership of the young people shaping the future.

The theme recognises the strength of communities, the enduring wisdom of ancestors, and the importance of empowering the next generation to carry the flame forward with pride, purpose, and self-determination.

Make/Space

Make/Space is a flagship initiative of Arts Mid North Coast designed to increase access to affordable, fit-for-purpose creative spaces for artists, creative workers, and communities across the region. The program supports both temporary and permanent uses of underutilised spaces, embedding creativity into main streets, public spaces, and civic infrastructure.

MiNi (digital) Concerts

Delivered in partnership with MusicNSW, MiNi (Digital) Concerts is an online live music video series and professional development program that aims to showcase some of the best local emerging artists from our region and support their music careers.

Selected artists are provided with professionally produced live video recordings and images and take part in a Professional Development program.
