Call from the art

PAKENHAM art precinct and creative people power.
Am I the only voice in Cardinia Shire who is lobbying for an art precinct?
State Government, we need funding to extend the Cardinia Cultural Centre.
Advised to wait and you can share Casey’s new art area when it is built at Fountain Gate – no, no, no.
The CCC has accessible space, and a great building that can facilitate preconceived planning additions.
Cardinia Shire, 1200 square kilometres, 30 townships, a baby born every six hours, street of houses completed per month.
We have more visual and performing creative artist and art-related participants and activities in Cardinia Shire than all sport put together.
Start up your art petitions and let us achieve success. Why should our dancers, actors, singers, performers, artists, sculptors, schools and deb balls have to travel outside the Cardinia Shire?
We need expansion to attract interstate and Melbourne shows for the people of Cardinia, be they art exhibitions, stage shows, opera, ballet. All the entertainment we miss that goes to Dandenong, Warragul and will go to Casey.
I need your help, your voices, your action.
Trying to achieve on your behalf,
Kate Lempriere,
Central Ward councillor,
Shire of Cardinia.
