Come on an adventure to Mt Druitt.
FUNPARK is an exciting site based contemporary arts initiative developed in collaboration with the Mt Druitt community.
In light of recent events FUNPARK is working to reaffirm the pride and potential of this great community. Sydney and broader Western Sydney audiences are welcome to attend. If you didn’t catch FUNPARK in 2014 this is your chance to come and see what all the excitement is about!
FUNPARK specifically targets young people who live in Mt Druitt. The project actively involves participants in creative dialogue around the social, civic and imagined spaces of Mt Druitt. Through a program involving community engagement and skills sharing, the FUNPARK initiative will transform the small suburb of Bidwill in Mt Druitt into a funpark on Sunday, July 19.
On Sunday, July 19, FUNPARK will be back in Bidwill for a celebration of the community and people. FUNPARK will present original works from 2014; Cuppa tea with Therese, The Occult of Bidwill, presentations of video work ‘The Underpass’ and a screening of the acclaimed performance work; ‘Mt Druitt Press Conference’, presented by the Social Revolutionaries.
+ performances and presentations by Bunny Hoopstar, the DMC crew and Province.
FUNPARK is back with artists: 9Lives, Bunny Hoopstar, Province, Darrin Baker and The Social Revolutionaries.
See you at FUNPARK, your attendance and support will help reaffirm the positive lives of young people in Western Sydney.

Specifically, money is required for:
– Skills Development Workshops
