Darwin CBD continues to welcome Live Darwin Arts activities this festive season, providing unique arts and cultural entertainment for locals and visitors to enjoy in the heart of Darwin City.
Live Darwin Arts Round 3 has been boosted by the Territory Labor Governments record $103 million Turbocharging Tourism package to attract visitors, create local jobs and put more money in the pockets of Territorians.
Grant funding of $157,532 has been allocated to activate the CBD with music performances, arts activities and exhibitions, listening parties and public conversations. Browns Mart Arts provide production support to these artists and assistance in delivering the events.
