We've started to turn our website into a resource hub to help support the arts in our region, thanks to funding from Creative Victoria and Regional Arts Victoria through their Sustaining Creative Workers Initiative.

Our aim is to join all the dots to present a more complete picture of what's happening, how you can get involved, handy tips to grow your practice or business, links to helpful websites, where to find supplies and sharing inspiration and histories throughout our communities.
