CULTURAL CENTRE

The Musgrave Park Cultural Centre is being developed in consultation with the local Aboriginal community through Musgrave Park Cultural Centre Inc.

Reflecting the importance Musgrave Park plays as an Aboriginal place, the Musgrave Park Cultural Centre will provide a space for Indigenous artists to develop and display their skills as well as providing job training opportunities and a neutral site for holding feasts, ceremonies and resolving disputes.

The Centre will have an exhibition and gallery space, conference and training facilities, indoor and outdoor performance areas, separate meeting spaces for men, women and children and a "yarning" circle. While development is being undertaken, the Musgrave Park Cultural Centre operates from the Jagera Arts Hall.

Functions of the Cultural Centre include:

A focus for Aboriginal culture in Brisbane, south east Queensland

A venue for the display of traditional and contemporary Indigenous visual and performing arts

A place for teaching culture to the next generation of Aboriginal children and youth and also the wider community

A centre of learning and referral support

A place for the local community and visitors to Brisbane to learn about Aboriginal culture, society and history

A focus for the interaction between the Aboriginal community, other major arts and cultural organisations in Brisbane

The new Musgrave Park Cultural Centre will provide:
