The Grange Community Centre would like to Thank Arts Assist for supporting The Wyndham Your Community Photography Competition. The number of photos submitted and number of attendees at the exhibition was a testament to what it meant to our community.
Thanks to Tim Pallas MP for being our special guest and for sharing some photos of the recent Werribee water tower mural launch!

With $146,055 from the Andrews Government, artist Hayden Dewar has brought this Werribee water tower back to life.
It was a privilege to officially acknowledge Hayden, Arts Assist Wyndham, and Southern Rural Water over the weekend for their work transforming the disused concrete tower into a spectacular art mural.
Dating back to 1914, this water tower used to play an important role for the Werribee community.
The fantastic new mural celebrates over a century of Werribee's heritage.
Congratulations to all involved, but especially Hayden. This project is something everyone in Werribee can be proud of.

What a perfect night for our final performance of ‘Jack and Millie’s’ first season - weather, audience, full house, setting. Thank you to everyone who supported this new Australian play and came to see it. A few dusty heads have just finished bump out and we already miss the space. We have had so much incredible feedback (with quite a number returning to see it twice) we feel excited and eager to give Jack and Millie life beyond this premier season. Stay tuned.
