Creative Projects

;;;;!

Central to our vision is the belief that participation in cultural and creative activities promotes the wellbeing of the individual, the community and the nation. We work with decision makers in central and local Government, State agencies, sectoral bodies, NGOs including community organisations, individuals, and partners to deliver creative projects that will enable our citizens to counteract isolation, create connections with the community, generate joy and above all enable all to realise their creative potential.
