THE ArtCubes Toora iteration has begun!
Aimed at celebrating local art and fostering community engagement, they are here for the next 3.5 months. Set to bring colour, community and creativity to Toora. They are small shipping containers converted into gallery/studio spaces owned and supported by South Gippsland Shire Council. The ArtCubes are located in Toora from July 19 to October 28, 2024, in the Toora Community Hall carpark on Dutton St next to the Toora Kindergarten.
Celebrating the town of Toora and the many years of its rich Arts history, including the once thriving Toora Village Creative Art Centre hosted in the Toora milk factory in the early 2000’s. The ArtCubes Toora project will see many of the artists involved in the Creative Centre return to once again teach print making on the same printing press as well as many new and contemporary artists that reflect the creative hub Toora is today.
