Let’s break it down…
The Vision
The central goal of The Church Giving Campaign is to rejuvenate the interior of a mid-1800s church located at the core of the Geelong Arts Centre’s creative campus. The vision is clear: transform this historic space into a vibrant hub of creativity, empowering and nurturing the incredible pool of talent within the Geelong community.
As part of this, the venue is set to undergo a remarkable transformation, building on the investment provided by the Victorian State Government and an array of generous donors. The interior redevelopment will result in a cabaret-style performance venue and artist support spaces that are second to none.

Why It Matters
The campaign is underpinned by the understanding that supporting local creatives is not just a noble endeavour, but an investment in the cultural and economic future of Geelong. By creating a dynamic and inclusive environment within The Church, the Geelong Arts Centre aims to provide the next generation of artists and creatives with an unmatched platform for growth.
Unlocking Opportunities
The campaign’s primary objective is to maximise opportunities for emerging talents. Through grants and gifts, The Church venue will become a launchpad for artists, providing them with essential resources, accessibility, and technical support to craft groundbreaking work in various creative fields, be it theatre, music, or other forms of artistic expression. This vibrant space will also foster collaboration and innovation, ultimately enriching both the local culture and the economy.
The renovated Church is not just a venue; it’s a symbol of Geelong’s investment in its creative spirit.
Join the Movement
Geelong Arts Centre invites the community to be a part of this exciting journey. Contributions to The Church Giving Campaign will make a real difference in the lives of local artists and the cultural vibrancy of Geelong. Those supporting the campaign are helping to write the story of Geelong’s artistic excellence and cultural enrichment for generations to come.
The best part is with Geelong Arts Centre’s matched funding supporters, the value of donations will be maximised. This means if you donate $100, this becomes $200!
