Maroondah artists, art organisations, venues and service providers are encouraged to support a new initiative linking the local arts community.

ArtZone will comprise an arts register and e-newsletter to help connect artists, share ideas, resources and information.

Ongoing registration is available, however, people who join ArtZone by Tuesday 23 June will have an opportunity to have their say on the direction of the initiative.

“Your input is important to the development of arts in Maroondah and that’s why we’re encouraging all creative minds to get involved,” Councillor Alex Makin said.

“Maroondah boasts a diverse and lively arts scene, so there are a number of individuals and groups out there who would benefit from what ArtZone has to offer,” Cr Makin said.

“Initially ArtZone will provide an artist register and e-newsletter, but there is a lot of scope to develop the network into something more substantial if demand is there,” Cr Makin said.

To be involved in this exciting new program simply fill out a registration form available at Council service centres, libraries, community houses and online at www.maroondah.vic.gov.au.
