Established in 1974, Footscray Community Arts Centre is widely acknowledged as Australia’s leading centre for contemporary arts and community engagement.  We are a unique place of learning and sharing where the dynamic between community, culture and contemporary art is explored and celebrated.

Our mission is to offer the diverse communities of Melbourne’s West a place and an opportunity for cultural expression, participation and exchange.  We work with artists, producers, teachers, students, community groups and cultural facilitators to build communities which are capable, inclusive and creative.
