About Us

Outer Urban Projects, founded in 2012, is a vital player in the Australian community arts and cultural development and performing arts sectors. We have forged a dynamic intergenerational performing arts company that collaborates with emerging artists and their communities in the “hardcore” outer northern suburbs of Melbourne. We deliver an artistic program that is ambitious in reach. Our work reflects the complex face of contemporary Australia and challenges the architecture of access in the Australian arts industry.
