As Melbourne endured its first long lockdowns in 2020, the idea of a new, one-off festival celebrating community and connection in Melbourne’s western suburbs was conceived and developed by Footscray Community Arts and The Substation, working in partnership.
Running from 11-27 November, Neighbourhood Contemporary Art Festival is presented in partnership with The Substation, the Company Manager of which, Audrey Thomas-Hayes, tells ArtsHub that the festival ‘is really an invitation to our local residents and community – but we also hope to draw audiences in from further afield’.
