UNDER THE SPOTLIGHT

LAST MONTH, THE NT’s robust performing arts sector was celebrated with a special red-carpet ceremony at Godinymayin Yijard Rivers Arts and Culture Centre in Katherine. 

The NT Performing Arts Awards were established in 2019 by the W3 alliance comprised of Brown’s Mart Arts, Corrugated Iron Youth Arts, and Tracks Dance Company, to shine a well-deserved light on the performing arts community – both on stage and behind the scenes. 

Congratulations to all Finalists and Winners. We sure are punching in the NT.
