White Art Christmas

A festive season of performing and visual arts
in aid of Whitelion

In 2007, A is for Atlas launched a partnership with youth support organisation Whitelion to raise awareness of its important work with our youth in need. Our two week festive season of visual and performing arts was an important step in building Whitelion’s connection to the arts sector, and thereby grow its capacity to incorporate creative programs within its youth support work.

A feast of creative community events for all persuasions: contemporary and classical music, theatre, visual art exhibition, family events and more!
