Edge of the City, Centre of the Conversation.

Our artistic programs and approach to practice are carving a new creative future for young people borne from the rich cultural tapestry of Melbourne’s west.

We create safer spaces for young and emerging artists to explore their creativity and lean into their age, background and experience to drive the creative process, rather than limit it.

Our three key programmatic areas of schools, community and professional development are grounded in decolonial practice and are designed to deliver a supportive, safe and community centered alternative pathway to artistic training and employment. And, along the way, we model to the wider artistic community the immense power and importance of creating opportunities for underrepresented artistic and cultural leaders.
