Diversitat Arts & Events is a key program in strengthening art linkages in Geelong to ensure people from diverse communities are able to participate as arts makers and audiences. With the ongoing arrival of new CALD communities to our region, the Arts program continue to evolve to ensure cultural groups are supported and have the capacity to showcase their own cultural identity.
