Art from the Heart of the Cross

The Art from the Heart of the Cross Exhibition was covered in the Sunday Telegraph. Check it out from December 3-17 at 107 Redfern St.

The Uniting Medically Supervised Injecting Centre’s Art from the Heart Exhibition is back! For 12 years, MSIC has used the gallery to showcase the unique and diverse talents of our clients.

The theme this year is ‘Come as you are’ – an invitation to people to accept and be accepted, without expectation or judgment.

The exhibition is free to the public and you can come see it at 107 Redfern Street from December 3 to 17. You can also view the catalogue and bid on the artworks on the Uniting website.

All proceeds go directly to the artists.

New South Wales Needs Better Drug Diversion

Too many people in NSW face court instead of support

Strict eligibility rules, a two-strike limit and poor implementation mean many people in NSW miss out on drug diversion. To keep the people we love safe, this needs to change.
