The Centre services an audience market and community that spans Campbelltown, Camden and Wollondilly Local Government Areas.

The core focus of Campbelltown Arts Centre is to develop and deliver innovative high quality contemporary arts programs that maximise opportunities and avenues for communities to engage with contemporary, multi-arts practice. The Centre’s program encompasses all forms of the visual, performing, literary and new media arts. The Centre aims to engage, inspire and respond to the issues of the region's communities through the production of contemporary cultural programs.
Additional purpose: Campbelltown Arts Centre has the following facilities: 180 seat performance studio, green room and rehearsal studio, exhibition spaces, library/meeting room, workshop spaces, retail outlet, artist residency studio, 2000 person outdoor amphitheatre, Sculpture Garden, Japanese Garden and cafe.
