A new Bathurst program, Smashed Arts, aims to circumvent the
negative choices of young people by providing inspiration and
opportunity to express themselves as well as entertainment options that
don’t include drinking. Bathurst Memorial Entertainment Centre’s
(BMEC) Local Stages Program secured a $495,000 grant from the Federal
Department of Health and Ageing for the two-year Smashed Arts program.
The program began during the July school holidays with free workshops
for young people in dance, circus, beat boxing and film making.
Building on BMEC’s existing Aboriginal Performing Arts Program, these
first workshops targeted young Aboriginal people through three days of
activity at the centre. Read the full article from the Western Advocate here.
