We at SACA serve to preserve, create and promote the Sicilian culture in Australia.
Our vision is to safeguard and celebrate the rich tapestry of Sicilian culture, preserving its timeless stories, language, and art forms for future generations. We strive to create platforms that honour and nurture Sicilian-inspired artistic expression, fostering the evolution of art rooted in the Sicilian diaspora and promoting contemporary expressions. Through our commitment to preserving heritage and fostering creativity, we aim to inspire a global appreciation for the diversity of Sicilian culture and art by:
Creating theatrical and musical presentations for the general public
Generating educational programs for schools and the community
Curating art exhibitions featuring Sicilian inspired content
Maintaining the active use of the Sicilian languages
Establishing relationships with Sicilian arts organisations for the purposes of artistic exchange
Supporting the publication of ancestral stories.
