Opening Night Illumine. 50 people gathered to share art, music, poetry, supper in the lead up to the Bicentennial Weekend. A gift to Baha’u’llah, of the arts!

Thank you to Magda Community Artz for use of their space.  As well as all those assisting us behind the scenes to make this happen, particularly local Baha’is and Baha’is of Gold Coast.
