Domenic Mico⦠âItâs almost like âCosmosâ but more intimate and more colourful.â Photo: Helen Musa. IN mid-March 2020, we reported that founding director of the National Multicultural Festival, Domenic Mico, was using his art to take a leap into space with an exhibition called âThe Cosmosâ, due to open in the large gallery of M16. It was his second show, for after retiring from production, he had returned to his early passion for painting which had been kindled when, as a young man, he had trained at the old Canberra School of Art before turning to the performing and community arts in the early 1970s.Â
