Arts

As the Ginninderry development evolves, we will support programs designed to improve the education, social, and economic outcomes of residents in the local area.

Arts initiatives at Ginninderry

Our arts initiatives are designed to inspire culture and community by providing residents with the opportunity to pursue their creative passions through participation in workshops, initiatives and collaboration with artists from the Strathnairn Arts Association Precinct.

From the establishment of local groups such as the With One Voice choir, to a Design Library featuring 60 artworks by prominent artists that can be incorporated into building elements at no extra charge, our arts initiatives deliver opportunities that showcase and celebrate creativity.

The exhibit highlights the work of their Community Recycling & Education Centre (HUB), sharing their story of how recycling transforms plastic bottle lids into practical, colourful products. LIDS4KIDS is a volunteer-run not-for-profit charity saving plastic bottle lids from landfill and transforming them into useful products, such as school and garden benches, picnic tables, table-tops, pens and carabiners.
