The Gallery is presented with Solid Ground, Carriageworks and Mandylights and was originally conceptualised and created in partnership with Crown Sydney, and commissioned by Destination NSW for Vivid Sydney 2022.
Solid Ground is an initiative of Carriageworks and Blacktown Arts and provides education, training and employment pathways for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander youth in Redfern and western Sydney. The program includes three key strands: a First Nations Mentoring Program at select secondary schools, a Tertiary Skills Program and paid Internships.
Solid Ground is supported by The Australian Government, The Crown Resorts Foundation, The Packer Family Foundation and the Tony Foundation
