indigenous
 Indigenous people of Australia hold wisdom passed down over thousands of
 years through art, story telling, ceremony, song and dance. Connecting with
 our traditional Indigenous culture and sharing in these traditions, offers our
 community a greater understanding of our culture’s wisdom and roots. With a
 deeper connection to our Ancestors and the Spirits of the Land, we can create a
 harmonious relationship with Earth and our people.

the arts
 Art is intrinsic to the Rainbow Serpent fabric and every effort has been made to
 ensure a colourful canvas that supports and encourages emerging and established
 artists to delve deep and create imaginative concepts that fill the festival pathways,
 stages and dance floors. Now in its fourth year, the Rainbow Arts and Culture
 Foundation’s Community Arts Grants have funded some incredible installations. If
 this inspires you, be sure to submit a grant application for 2013!
