Beyond the Surface is a new @westsiderradio podcast shining a light on the volunteers, community workers, organisations and everyday people quietly making a difference across Melbourne’s west. ❤️📻⁠
⁠
The first episode features host Muffy chatting to Fay Salem-Demezieres from @westwelcomewagon about their volunteer work supporting refugees and asylum seekers. ⁠
⁠
More stories of local kindness and community connection to come, but for now, the podcast's message is simple: let’s celebrate "cool people doing good things". 😊⁠

The 45 seconds videos we are sharing of our artists barely scratch the surface in their creative processes. Luckily we were given a space on @westsiderradio Spotlight session to go a little deeper with one of our exhibiting artists @cosgrovecarmel . We took a little walk along Stony Creek Backwash to see where Carmel gets her inspiration and understand a little more what goes on in her brilliant mind of creation and to get her experience of what it’s like to be a part of Inner West Art Fair. Head to https://westsiderradio.com.au/westside-spotlight/inner-west-art-fair-2026/ to hear more about Carmel’s world.
