• "Tutti Ensemble - Holdfast Choir History, Goals, Friends & Supporters 2002"
  Tutti Ensemble Holdfast Choir History, Goals, Friends & Supporters 2002 - reads, in part " The development of the Tutti Ensemble's Holdfast Community Choir seems like magic. It has grown in less than four years from a small group of 11 intellectually disabled people and two support workers at Minda enjoying choral singing as a recreational option, to a diverse group of 60 - 70 singers and musicians. The philosophy of the choir is that there are no barriers to participation, therefore people with physical and intellectual disabilities and members of the community from widely differing age groups and musical experience are accepted and encouraged. Our repertoire has evolved to include gospel, popular and traditional songs as well as old favourites. We also sing songs from other cultures and original songs by contemporary writers"

While Coronavirus 19 restricted social contact, there were some benefits that arose such as increased digital access for social connection, online ordering accessible via screen readers and home delivery, virtual tours of art galleries, online choirs, and telehealth appointments.

• "Incite Arts - Unbroken Land 2016"
  Incite Arts - Unbroken Land 2016 - reads, in part "The vision for this years’ UNBROKEN LAND was to create art that is about a world we want to live in and not the one that is currently shown us in much of popular culture. So much is overwhelmingly negative and self-perpetuating. We are told we are a divided, racist, intolerant and bigoted society."
