Some of Victoria’s leading arts companies will visit Location in 2024, with an exciting line-up of creative experiences for all ages.

Member for Melton Steve McGhie today said the latest round of the Allan Labor Government’s Touring Victoria program is a win for local audiences.

The program supports leading creative organisations across Victoria to take their works on the road and connect world-class art with more communities and local venues – boosting accessibility and opportunity for Victorians.

It enables Victorian arts companies to hit the road, reach new audiences and connect with local creative workers and communities.

Here in Melton the Neurokin program will deliver creative activities designed for Autistic and neurodiverse children, young people and adults, as well as professional development sessions for artists with lived experience. It will also help build the capacity of participating venues to deliver safe sensory activities for their local community.

Touring Victoria is part of the Labor Government’s Creative State 2025 strategy. For more details on the latest recipients, visit creative.vic.gov.au/news
