Community Programs effect cultural change through the power of the arts, resulting in improved social, emotional and health outcomes.
As a community arts organisation we embrace the notion that our projects are collaborative and needs-based, and we ensure that they are supported by exceptional professional artists who guide, teach and inspire.
We take pride in our hands-on approach and create unique arts projects that are tailored to the needs of participants.
Our projects include ongoing weekly programs, short-term projects that range in length from 3 months to 2 years as well as occasional one-off performances and opportunities. Community Programs are delivered at no cost to participants.
