Want to connect with First Nations culture?

Blacktown Arts mourns the loss of Uncle Greg Simms, a proud Elder of the Gundungurra (Water Dragon / Lizard People) of the Blue Mountains and the Gadigal (Whale People) of the Dharug Nation.

His legacy lives on in the spaces he helped create, spaces of welcome, learning and shared responsibility.  

Our deepest condolences to Uncle Greg’s family and friends.
