Cherish is a multi arts performance project that brings a diverse range of people from Mackay together to explore how values play an integral role in the life of a community.
Partcipants explore the things that they love and cherish in film, dance, music, story telling, printmaking and visual arts.
Blue Care, the Small Miracles ensemble, Rail, Ozcare and a range of artists from the community are collaborating together for a performance on December 14th.
The performance is a culmination of the workshops led by Crossroad Arts.

Steve Mayer-Miller met with Velvet Eldred from the Cairns ARC Drumming group on a recent visit. Their percussion performance was powerful and impressive.
Steve was lucky enough to catch a rehearsal and asked the Cairns ARC Drumming Group if there was some way they could be involved with our Nest performance. A recording of the Cairns ARC Drumming group will open our final performance for the year, The Nest.
