For 2023 St Patrick's festival parade Artastic will create a colourful pageant to celebrate the theme ONE. In looking at the world and all the aspects of the diverse culture and what we also share. ​

​

Artastic asks the question..what do all cultures share in this world?  It's the sky, the sun, the moon and the infinite galaxy of stars overhead. ​

In the vastness of the universe, our little solar system has its own little party carefully watched over by its doting ancestors the Sun and the Moon. Our small planet dances around its magnetic attraction to the sun while playing hide and seek with the Moon.​

If we can look at this Onederful world from this viewpoint, we really are all ONE human race sharing this glorious fragile planet. 

 ​

Section 1:​

The pageant opens with a representation of culture with Venetian Carnival characters to symbolise that all cultures have had their own unique way to celebrate, and yet the motives of celebration usually centre around the same principles of life.  The large mask represents the many faces and ideologies behind each cultural expression ​
​

Section 2:​

Planet Earth is symbolised by a large globe made out of jigsaw pieces. The individual jigsaw pieces are coloured in all the colours of the rainbow. The symbolism coveys the message the this world is made up of many different parts that all come together to make this puzzle of life a sum that is greater than all its parts. That we all can work together to make a complete picture. ​

 ​

A large Sun will glance over and give light to the Moon and planets that share the warmth and affection from the suns smiling glance. Many stars also decorate the skylines and represent the wisdom of our ancestors that have guided us along the way.
