Expanding our impact and addressing a broader spectrum of social issues, we aspire to replace our existing mobile arts hub with a more versatile, multi-purpose design. We are seeking funding for the revolutionary Romotow-designed arts hub, a vehicle to tow it, plus wages for the 4 artists and 2 administrators who will be activating the arts hub across regional and remote Australia. The new MUTTI Arts Hub aims to make a profound social impact throughout regional New South Wales, home to 265 towns with a combined population of approximately 3 million. Through MUTTI’s proposed 3-year activation across 27 regional and remote towns, we expect to attract 27,300 people as audience members or art therapy workshop attendees. By involving 52 regional schools, the hub enhances education on social issues, promoting advocacy and cultural sensitivity among youth, demonstrating MUTTI’s deep commitment to community involvement and dialogue.

Local councils and service providers are also integral to the project, with 81 partnerships helping to amplify its reach and impact. In an innovative approach to community care, the hub provides 8,100 meals through free sausage sizzles, supporting local marginalised residents, many of whom are homeless. Additionally, 270 dignity bags containing personal hygiene products are distributed to marginalised women, allowing them to choose a bag that meets their personal needs, thus respecting and enhancing their dignity. The new MUTTI Arts Hub will be an accessible, inclusive space that bridges gaps between artists, survivors, and local services, inspiring meaningful conversations and actions that promote awareness, healing, and social change. Through collaboration and engagement, the MUTTI Arts Hub amplifies the power of art to unite, heal, and drive progress within communities.
