Small Voices Made Loud in Big Spaces



The Cad Factory artists Vic and Sarah McEwan have collaborated with local students from the Greater Kengal Small Schools Network to create a unique and cutting edge contemporary performance event on Friday 26 October at the Tootool Silo.

Vic and Sarah McEwan received an Extended Residency in Schools grant which enabled the two artists to work for over three months with the students of Boree Creek, Milbrulong, Pleasant Hills and Yerong Creek Public Schools.

The project was auspiced by Western Riverina Arts.

The funding is a partnership between Arts NSW, Australia Council for the Arts and the Department of Education and Communities in order for students to work with professional artists to create new work. Other important objectives of the funding is to provide insights into the working lives of artists and to encourage and develop future artists and arts audiences.
