Darwin Fridge Festival at Malak
Submitted by Brenda Logan on Thu, 22/07/2010 - 12:44pm.
Darwin Community Arts aims to produce a unique, adventurous and distinctly Darwin community festival at Malak. This Festival will involve the whole Darwin community, engage an array of artists (visual artists, performers, graffiti artists, photographers) as well as bring a sense of identity to the central Malak precinct. The event is the Darwin Fridge Festival. Yes Fridge!
The Darwin Fridge Festival, whilst emerged as a tongue-in-cheek joke on a Fringe Festival, has grown into a large scale community event. The humble fridge is a Darwin icon, and Darwin Community Arts wants to explore its possibilities as an art and cultural centrepiece.
The Darwin Fridge Festival will also explore environment themes relating to the fridge such as landfill, energy efficiency and recycling.

Monthly Gathering Community Cafe Dinner held 26 August, 2010
Submitted by Brenda Logan on Thu, 29/07/2010 - 12:39pm.
A large crowd gathered this Monday to attend the Monthly Gathering Community Cafe Dinner held in Chambers Crescent Theatre. Preparation took all day for the event, with a group from My Sisters' Kitchen working very hard to create three delicious dishes for the menu; a vegeterian curry, egg curry and vegetable noodles and savoury rice. As the food was bubbling away, a lot of care was spent decorating the theatre, turning it into an exciting colourful venue!

Annual African Dinner Dance
Submitted by Brenda Logan on Thu, 22/07/2010 - 4:06pm.
Attached is the flyer for the Annual African Dinner Dance, the biggest African Party of the year in the NT, to be held on Saturday the 7th August 2010 at the Cyprus Club in Marrara from 7pm till late.
This is usually a great event attended by up to 500 people. I am helping to coordinate a number of women from across the African communities in Darwin to do cooking for the event. The menu is looking good with food from Somalia, Zimbabwe, Congo, Burundi and Sudan.
There will also be a range of performers from African background and a newly formed Brasilian Samba Ensemble have been asked to perform! After performances the DJ’S kick in with a range of music from across the African continent to boogie into the early hours of the morning to.
Tickets are $30 a person and $15 for a child (buffet dinner included). See attached flyer for more details.

Submitted by Brenda Logan on Thu, 22/07/2010 - 2:15pm.
Please see attached flyers regarding face painting workshops that are being offered free of charge to interested participants. You will notice that the workshops scheduled for the evenings of Tuesday 27, Wednesday 28 and Thursday 29 July at Casuarina Library Meeting Room were initially intended for Darwin City Council staff but are now open to all interested persons as there are some spare spaces. These workshops are particularly aimed at young people, so if you know any young people who would like to learn/improve their face painting skills, please pass the message on.
There are also two daytime sessions, one on Wednesday 28 July in the Civic Centre, Darwin, and one on Thursday 29 July in the Casuarina Library Meeting Room which were initially aimed at staff of community organisations but are also open to anyone who would like to gain some new skills.
