Burrinja Cultural Centre in Upwey has received over $450,000 in funding from the Victorian state government’s Creative State 2025 strategy.
The $461,962 in funding was allocated to Burrinja Cultural Centre to “allow creative organisations to plan ahead and create the art, experiences and festivals that Victoria is famous for.”
Minister for Creative Industries Danny Pearson said Victoria is home to organisations that provide career pathways, jobs and deliver a stunning range of creative experiences.
“From internationally acclaimed companies to grassroots collectives, social enterprises, fashion labels and festivals, we’re making sure Victoria’s outstanding arts practitioners have the support they need,” he said.
“This is an investment in the future of our creative industries and the thousands of jobs they support that reflects the diversity of Victoria’s talent and our communities.”
Burrinja Cultural Centre runs art galleries, live performances and music from local artists. Its aim is to “build community through art.”
The total amount of funding allocated includes money received from Sustaining Creative Organisations COVID recovery funding in 2022.
