The Cowra–Canowindra Community Arts Project is a series of arts workshops in performance and story-telling involving community youth artists, youth arts workers/ artists and cultural organizations from Cowra, Canowindra, Bathurst and visiting professional artists in residence . The workshops results will be presented during Cowra Civilian Internment Program, Festival of International Understanding (March 2014 ) and 70th Anniversary of Cowra Breakout Commemorations (August 2014). The project aims to further Cowra’s community heritage of heralding peace and reconciliation, and to shed light on the little known history of civilian internment in Australia during WW2.
