Where Artists Meet (W.A.M.)

Thu 29 September @ 7.00pm | Burrinja 

WAM is Back!

Here’s your chance to get out, have some fun and talk shop with other local artists and have a cheeky drink.

These regular gatherings propose space for connecting and developing conversation between local creatives. WAM provides a fun and friendly environment to talk shop with other artists, share tips, discuss creative practice, projects and local arts and culture. With the Dandenong Ranges rich and abundant cultural landscape Burrinja’s WAM events are a great opportunity to develop new creative networks, find out about potential opportunities and connect with your local arts community.

Join us on the last Thursday of every month @ 7pm at the Fat Goat (2 Morris Road, Upwey)

GIFT VOUCHERS


 

We acknowledge the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nations as the traditional custodians of the land where we live, work & play. We pay our respects to elders past, present and emerging. Burrinja extends that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today and acknowledges them as the Traditional Custodians of country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community. It is through valuing their history, traditions, culture and beliefs that we strive to stimulate awareness and promote respect for Indigenous contemporary art and culture and create a positive future for Indigenous and non-indigenous communities together.

Sovereignty was never ceded.

Always was always will be Aboriginal land.
