In Burnie, Mayor Anita Dow, encouraged north west coasters to embrace this year’s festival. BOFA was fortunate to have the young women from Big hART’s Project O, who are participating in this year’s festival, stage manage our final launch from promotion to meet-and-greet, catering and performances on the evening. Project O began in Wynyard (TAS), and is produced by renowned national arts for social change organisation Big hART.
