Our Philosophy:
  • Encourage people with artistic leanings to fully explore their abilities.
  • Enrich the lives of the people within the community by engaging them in art and craft.
  • Provide occasions for social interactions e.g. exhibitions, workshops.
  • Inform people in an accessible way of the history of their own community, giving a strong sense of place.
  • Improve the environment in which we live by enhancing it with art and history related murals and sculptures.
  • Develop and maintain the Moonambel heritage precinct.
  • Support projects e.g. Performances of drama, music, history projects.
