A new artwork will be launched at Fox’s Lane in Ashfield on 23 April 2022. The work “There Will Always be a Light on For You” is an installation comprising hand crafted lanterns that will bring light that welcomes all. The launch is part of an event that will also celebrate the premiere of the “ My Plate, Your Plate” cart. Why is the event an important part of building collaboration and understanding in the community?
