Tell us a about ACE Arts & Cultural Exchange?
Ace is most accurately described as an equity focused creative incubator for western Sydney talent. We use creativity, culture and the arts to reverse the disadvantage experienced by historically under-represented communities in Western Sydney.
Why do you think it’s important that ACE is based in Parramatta?
I think there are huge opportunities for the night-time cultural scene in Parramatta. There's a whole host of reasons why ACE is in Parramatta. It is a cultural hub, there are so many amazing communities that are based here in Parramatta and in the Parramatta region. And also, really important is the excellent public transport to Parramatta. ACE offers a smorgasbord of night-time activities from our multicultural women's hub program, a Western Sydney book club, another regular event is our annual film festival, which we present in partnership with our neighbours from across the road Riverside Theatres. We're very happy to call Parramatta our home.
