HOME - Western Edge

A thriving community of next generation artistic and cultural leaders, borne from Melbourne’s West.

We meet artists on their own terms, to tell their stories in their own way, and with their own voice. By creating safer spaces for young people to explore creativity, learn new artistic practices and gain on-the-job, we’re shifting the balance of power.

Grounded in culture and community, expressed by art, Western Edge is at the new frontier of contemporary Australia.

Western Edge acknowledges that we work and play on the unceded lands of the Kulin Nations. We pay our respects to Elders past and present and recognise their continuing connection to land, waters and culture. We also recognise the emerging leaders and young people who keep that connection strong now and into the future. We are committed to working with those young leaders on our collective journey towards reconciliation. For tens of thousands of years, First Nations people have been telling stories and creating song lines that stretch across the continent. It is a great privilege to build community and tell stories on this land, home to the oldest living culture on earth. Always was, always will be Aboriginal land.
