ABOUT AERIE CREATIVE ECOLOGY

The Aerie Creative Ecology (ACE) is based at Burrinja in Upwey, and has been created  as part of the 2019 redevelopment funded by Yarra Ranges Council and the Victorian  Government’s Growing Suburbs fund.

The intentions of ACE are to cultivate creative expression, promote creative  economies and foster creative connections. ACE is a place that aims to be:

  • a playful / creative / social / cultural space
  • accessible to all
  • inviting to a diverse community of artists
  • a hub for artists and creatives
  • a nurturing program that provides support at all levels
  • a place to connect and collaborate with other creatives
