This initiative is a gesture of recognition of the hard work that Frontline Workers have done for us throughout these tough times. “It’s an honour to provide this gesture of gratitude to our health and education workers, who have given so much to the community,” says Danny Pearson, the Minister for Creative Industries. “This festival will ignite Melbourne’s colder months with the very best of food, art and culture and Victorians will be proud to know our frontline workers will be there to enjoy it.”
On this initiative, RISING Co-artistic Directors Hannah Fox and Gideon Obarzanek have stated; “we’re thrilled that, through this Victorian Government initiative, RISING can throw open the gates to one of the festival’s premier experiences to extend a gesture of thanks to frontline workers for their tireless work.”
