STAY UP LATE

MACARTHUR residents will be staying up late and having an artistic night out this summer thanks to new grants from the State Government for two events in the region. Member for Campbelltown Greg Warren announced that Campbelltown and Camden had won a slice of the $1.9M pie from the Western Sydney Culture Up Late initiative. The Culture Up Late @ Campbelltown Arts Centre program, run by Campbelltown City Council, has been successful in its application for a share of the fund. Council received $200,000 to present a program that will allow the Campbelltown Arts Centre to remain open from 5pm to 9pm on Thursday and selected Friday and Saturday evenings between November and January. In this time multi-artform artist-led programs will be run aimed at extended engagement with artists, local communities and visitors under the banner ‘Sundown Sessions’. More: page 3.
