The Arts Centre Cootamundra is a unique space. It provides a playing field for across the board arts activity. It is a community driven facility in its concept, construction and administration. Originally the dream was to take an historically significant but derelict building complex and turn it into a multi-purpose arts facility for the education, production, exhibition and performance of artistic activity. This has taken 15+ years of extensive volunteer labour and administration.

Now a reality, it has reached a junction point where a construction project becomes a fully- fledged working arts facility. It is now a unique asset for the Shire, driven by volunteer programming and administration to present and facilitate professional performance and engagement.

The Arts Centre boasts a vibrant performing and visual arts program on which its sustainability depends. 2017 saw the fulfilment of a long-term business plan goal of partnerships with state or national performance companies. These groups hire the theatre and rehearsal space for production development -“idea inception to performance level”. In 2017 TACC have partnered with Monkey Baa children’s theatre company, Murmuration, Matriark and Critical Stages to deliver development projects for community and professional education, community engagement and productions which will be toured nationally. Many of these partnerships have already spilled over into 2018 and 19. We look forward to many more collaborations to benefit the Shire and region.
