About
Footscray Community Arts values all communities as makers of culture.
As an arts precinct, and through development programs and presentations, we actively work to create a place that is vibrant, culturally safe and artistically ambitious. This is led by communities whose cultural agency has not historically been seen, centred or prioritised by the creative industries.
We centre and prioritise artists and arts workers who are First Nations, people of colour, from diaspora communities, who are d/Deaf or disabled or from LGBTIQA+ communities.
We platform and centre the voices and perspectives of these communities, generating social and cultural impact locally and globally. We do this work with and for communities, to support and sustain artistic relevance and to influence a shift in who art is for and why it is important.
