06.01.2022 Who's excited about the South West Festival of Japan starting this week?

06.01.2022 Last chance to buy a memory brick! Offer closes on Sunday 29th November. For over 100 years, the building now known as the Stirling Street Arts Centre has supported the Bunbury community through education, culture and the arts. You may remember coming here when it was an infant school in the early 1900s, a TAFE campus in the 70s or the Stirling Street Arts Centre over the past 40+ years. Woven into the fabric of Bunbury this centre is built on community, as a place where... childhood began, skills are shared, culture is cultivated and fun and friendships are forever. Now looking to the future with a new building on site, we invite you to celebrate with us and remember our beginnings, not just as a building but as the people of Bunbury and the special memories embedded here, within each brick on site. We are offering the opportunity to buy a memory brick for $100, for your business, family, a loved one who has passed or yourself, and these will be used to create a special place on the grounds of the Stirling Street Arts Centre. As a not-for-profit organisation, all proceeds from the sale of memory bricks will benefit the community as we renew our commitment to the delivery of arts and culture for all in the South West. https://stirlingstreetarts.com.au/memory-bricks/

06.01.2022 The South West Festival of Japan is coming soon, 4-12 September!
