Multicultural Arts Victoria's latest program NEWPRINT is a live music performance at Western Park, Tom Collins Dve, Shepparton, on Friday, December 10, from 5pm to 9pm.
The program is all about supporting artists of colour living in outer urban and regional areas. Shepparton is home to a growing music scene and Shepparton NEWPRINT producers, Ree and Yungkily, have programmed an amazing line-up of talent from their communities including:
Mr C, The Nesian 5, Hoodie 4L, Dorika, Madi Colville-Walker, Lillie Walker, DJ Rivity Rascal, and hosted by Monga Mukasa.
The show will be an all-ages-friendly affair, outdoors by the lake. NEWPRINT ushers in a new generation of boundary-pushing creatives who dream bigger, and are the future of live music programming in Australia.
