Community Wall is a project that has been developing at the GAC for some time. The idea is simple: GAC wants to offer a free and accessible space where community artists can display their work.
Through this project we aim to support emerging artists, young creatives, community organisations and Goldfields artists by giving them a platform to share their art. The Community Wall is a place where artists can be seen and heard and where the wider community can engage with creative work, feel inspired and enrich their cultural experience.
It is also a space designed to build connections — creating bridges between art and community, encouraging dialogue, collaboration and a stronger sense of belonging through creativity.
