Previous ArtsACTION programs
ArtsACTION was originally initiated thanks to funding from the Australian Government’s Building Better Regions Fund in partnership with the City of Greater Bendigo, Mount Alexander Shire, Macedon Ranges Shire, and Hepburn Shire in 2019-2020. It was delivered for Golden Plains Shire in early 2020. You can find out more about these previous programs here.
At Pop Up Art we continue to advocate for creatives to thrive, because this enriches our communities as a whole.
