Bush studio at Liverpool Powerhouse HPGE programs

Georges River EEC

Inspired by Liverpool Powerhouse's vision of being a creative home for all, each program in the Bush studio series is developed to encourage students to experiment, collaborate, and express their unique ideas through authentic creative experiences. Working with industry experienced practitioners in a vibrant community arts setting, students will develop confidence, creative thinking and skills while discovering how creativity and the arts can connect people, celebrate diverse perspectives, and inspire innovation.

'We're thrilled to partner with Liverpool City Council, the Liverpool Powerhouse with support of the Arts and Initiatives Unit within Department of Education to offer HPGE programs to inspire students with high potential in the creative and intellectual domains. This exciting space will provide the backdrop for our Bush studio series. Programs will focus on the Creative arts disciplines of drama, music and visual arts, English and Digital media. Together we hope to strengthen the arts and creative culture across South West Sydney.'
