Community First, Creativity Always.

Information

For more than five decades, Footscray Community Arts has been a home for bold ideas, local voices, and community-led creativity in Melbourne’s west. What’s behind our historical success? One thing: people choosing to support us. 

Every exhibition, performance, mentorship, gathering, and First Nations-led project at Footscray Community Arts begins with an investment in our communities — in emerging artists finding their voice, young people discovering creative pathways, and communities creating safe spaces for connection, expression, and change.

Footscray Community Arts exists because people like you continue to believe spaces like this matter; where creative spaces should be accessible, representative, and shaped by the communities it belongs to.

This End Of Financial Year (EOFY), we’re raising $20,000 before June 30 to support the spaces, programs, and artists that keep Footscray Community Arts alive.

Your donation will help us continue to:

⬤      Support local artists and creative development

⬤      Deliver free and accessible public programs

⬤      Sustain First Nations-led and community-led projects

⬤      Maintain spaces where people feel welcomed and represented

⬤      Gather, create opportunities, challenge ideas, and tell stories in the voices of the communities too often excluded elsewhere

And remember, we have over 50 years of proven experience doing exactly this.

At a time when many creative spaces are under increasing pressure, your contribution will help ensure Footscray Community Arts remains accessible, community-led, and deeply connected to Melbourne’s west. You will be investing in a more connected, inclusive, and creative future.

Double Your Impact: Your Donation Matched Dollar For Dollar.<

Thanks to the support of Creative Australia and their Plus1 program, every eligible leadership donation made to Footscray Community Arts will be matched – turning your contribution into twice the support for community-led creativity.

This means a $1000 donation is doubled, becoming $2,000 in direct support for emerging artists, community programs, and creative opportunities across Melbourne’s west.

Your donation helps turn emerging artists into working artists.
