Brimbank acting community wellbeing director Lynley Dumble said the aim was to have everyone able to participate in and collaborate towards building a vibrant, connected and creative community.
“Council is dedicated to ensuring the arts are part of everyday life in Brimbank, as well as developing artistic thinking in the community through the work of the arts and culture team, and beyond.,” Ms Dumble said.
“We advocate for the inclusion of arts in the west by bringing quality experiences in performing and visual arts, and delivering an engaging program of creative workshops, festivals and events.
