Creative programs
Emerging Artist Hub
Located at the historic Narre Warren Mechanics Institute, the Emerging Artist Hub is a residency program designed to support local creatives from Melbourne’s South East. This dedicated space offers emerging artists the opportunity to grow their practice, collaborate with peers, and share skills and resources in a supportive, community-focused environment.

- Bunjil Place Library, Narre Warren
- Cranbourne Library, Cranbourne
- The Hayshed Studio, Old Cheese Factory, Berwick
These spaces celebrate creativity and provide a platform for diverse artistic voices across the region.
How to apply
Applications open in November each year. To stay up to date and be the first to hear about upcoming opportunities, please subscribe to the Connect Newsletter.
Arts Agitators
Arts Agitators is an exciting youth program (ages 15 - 25 years) dedicated to helping artists and creatives working at the beginning of their careers to explore their creative style, as well as connect them with like-minded artists.
Working across a range of artforms and mediums, participants are encouraged to explore their own creative styles in a collaborative, supportive environment. They’ll have the opportunity to experience exhibitions and performances, take part in hands-on workshops run by established south-eastern artists, and create and develop their own arts-based events and projects.
