HOME IS WHERE THE HALL IS<br />
It’s time again to inform you of our exciting<br />
Regional Arts Victoria project, ‘Home is Where<br />
the Hall is’ that you may be keen to participate<br />
in. Registrations open 20 August; this is a unique<br />
project and we would love for you to join us!<br />
Home is Where the Halls is is Regional Arts<br />
Victoria’s state-wide celebration of community<br />
halls and takes place during the month of<br />
November. This initiative was originally launched<br />
in 2011 by Premier Ted Baillieu and over the past<br />
years the project has seen more than 300 events<br />
registered.<br />
Community halls are central to the ongoing<br />
energy of regional towns: they are places for<br />
gathering, celebration, emergency, crafting,<br />
mourning, baking, performing and playing.<br />
Whether they are historic or contemporary, community halls are the keepers of a rich and diverse collection of stories and<br />
memories that form the identity of the town and safeguard its values. In times of emergency or crisis, the community hall is<br />
the town’s refuge; in times of joy, the community hall is the town’s place for celebration.<br />
Home is Where The Hall is is a grassroots arts initiative. Each November, Regional Arts Victoria together with Country Arts<br />
South Australia showcase dozens of activities at community halls at the dedicated Home is Where the Hall is website: http://<br />
homeiswherethehallis.com. This includes a list of events creating journeys across the state that nurture regional arts.<br />
Home is Where The Hall is, is a state-wide project that’s key to celebrating and championing the places where art is made<br />
and enjoyed. This inspiring project creates a state-wide network of vibrant spaces, with many dozens of towns participating<br />
each year.<br />
