Kogarah Library and Cultural Centre
Last updated Wednesday, 08 Dec 2010.The Kogarah Cultural Centre is located within the Kogarah Library. The space hosts a range of arts and cultural activities, including exhibits, performances and community activities. One of the key programs in the Cultural Centre is Council's Community Art Space Program. The program is an initiative of Council, where local artists and groups are able to exhibit their works free of charge in a gallery area at the entrance to the Library and Cultural Centre. Opportunities for artists to exhibit their works are often costly and hard to come by, so through the Community Art Space Program, Council wanted to provide opportunities for local artists and groups to exhibit their works and showcase the wide-ranging talent in the City of Kogarah community.
Additional purpose: The Cultural Centre Space hosts exhibits as well as a range of activities including musicians, authors, speakers and group activities for various groups within the community.
Co-located facility:Located with Library can also be found at the same location as Kogarah Library and Cultural Centre.
