Exhibitions and Creative Pathways Program EOI 2026

The Exhibition & Creative Pathways Program (ECPP) offers the opportunity for emerging and mid-career artists to progress their career and further develop their creative practice. Supporting exhibition outcomes for the gallery spaces at our cultural venues in Healesville and Warburton, the ECCP plays an integral role in delivering the Creative Communities Strategy at Yarra Ranges Council, promoting the region as a vibrant arts hub that thrives economically, attracts creative people and embeds creativity within cultural life.
