Join us for the Common Threads Community Celebration, a vibrant evening of art, culture, and community hosted by the City of Ryde.
Over the past six months, community members from all walks of life have participated in the Common Threads initiative—a series of free interactive art workshops exploring culture, identity, and connection through the creative theme "Past to Future".
This special evening brings it all together with:
- A showcase of community-created artworks
- Cultural performances and guest speakers
- Reflections on heritage, resilience, and shared future visions
- Opportunities to connect and celebrate Ryde’s rich diversity
As part of Refugee Week 2025, this event also honours and celebrates the experiences and contributions of refugees and asylum seekers in our community—those who have journeyed from past struggles to build new lives and futures in Ryde.
Whether you participated in a workshop, supported a loved one, or simply want to experience the creative spirit of our local community—you’re warmly invited!
Event highlights
- Inspiring art exhibition of works created by youth, seniors, families, and local groups
- Special address and community storytelling reflecting the theme "Past to Future"
- Live cultural performances by local artists
- Light refreshments provided
Let's come together to honour the threads that connect us—past, present, and future.
