Membership

Arts Rutherglen is a volunteer group founded upon a shared desire to foster the creation, presentation and enjoyment of the arts of our area. From a community meeting in 2005 we were officially incorporated in March 2006 and affiliated with Regional Arts Victoria.

All members are invited to all meetings, which are held on the third Thursday of every month.

We prepare a calendar of events but welcome ideas and initiatives for further activities from all of our members.

Our established on-going programs and initiatives are:

• Annual scholarships to school students to help them  continue their art studies
• The annual Rutherglen Tastes of Art Prize exhibition.
• A brunch celebration for International Women’s Day with Guest Speakers
• A Fine Films Season presenting a series of six films
• regular Music Events
• Inviting authors to share their perspectives at Literary Events
• Portals Into Rutherglen ~ an exciting and innovative project using street art to brighten up the doors and windows of Rutherglen’s historic Main St businesses and share stories/histories about Rutherglen.
• The Rutherglen Sculpture Trail

Within the above framework, we seek to offer a variety of experiences so that each year is familiar but different from previous year’s programs.
