Homeground is a multi- art festival celebrated every year in Sydney
The former president of United States of America once stated, “If art is to nourish the roots of our culture, society must set the artist free to follow his vision wherever it takes him.” We do not know what America has to say about it, but the Australians are following each and every word quoted by Kennedy. This is the one of the major contributing factors and reason why Australia has a culture, so rich, so amazing. Australia celebrates art and culture like no other place on the Earth.
The Australians are also quite appreciative about their glorious culture. Not only the Australians, but the people from across the world are all praises about the amazing Australian culture, especially the Aboriginal culture of old Australia.
