Casey Council has announced a new hub for artists and creatives to be built in Narre Warren.
The Emerging Artist Creative Hub (The Hub) is designed to be a space for creatives to develop their art practice, collaborate with peers and share skills and resources.
The space will also provide resident artists the opportunity to put on small-scale exhibitions and projects, public programs and other outdoor exhibitions.
The existing hall will be transformed to accommodate small-scale exhibitions and projects, public programs and other outdoor exhibitions.
“We’re so pleased to be able to take one of our under-utilised facilities in the centre of Narre Warren and transform it into a dedicated space for our creative community to explore their art further,” said City of Casey chair of administrators Noelene Duff.
“The Hub is an exciting, first of its kind offering by council, allowing tenants to flourish in their practice in an accessible and collaborative space.
“We invite applicants who may be considering broadening their practice into Casey to check out the eligibility and get in touch with council to learn more about this opportunity.”
The Emerging Artist Creative Hub is supported through a $150,000 grant provided by the Victorian Government’s Creative Neighbourhood Infrastructure Support Program combined with a $75,000 investment from the City of Casey.
