Events

The year kicked off with a fabulous Member's Event on the 5 February at 7:00pm at the Yea Butter Factory. The next Member's Event will be on the 6 April. We have some exciting plans in place for the coming year with a local Yappers show, some fabulous professional touring shows, members events, and our new initiative Arts Uprising bringing visual artists together across the region. 

We had a wonderful and full year in 2024 but hang on to your hats because 2025 looks to be an exciting one with something for everyone. Keep a regular eye on our Events page where we will keep you posted about what is coming up !

Scope 

• Showtime!
  We're finding some of the best shows available in Victoria - theatre, spoken word, music - and bringing them to the district for your enjoyment.
• YAPPERS
  We recognise that locally-created theatre is important, so we produce fresh shows here, too. We support local writers when we can, and always provide opportunities for local people to act, learn and practise technical skills, and have lesser-skilled roles as well.
• pLATform Youth Theatre
  The past endeavours of our youth has led us to continue to work and collaborate with others as we explore ways to resurrect ths group who will sustain our vision into the future. We will seek opportunities to involve them in creative endeavours via workshops.
• Musicians
  There are many musical people in the district, and we're creating opportunities for showcase performances. This will include supporting slots in other YAI events as well as creating concerts from scratch.
• Artists Uprising
  Practitioners of other art forms including painting, drawing, ceramics and sculpture will be given exhibition and development opportunities through Yea Arts; we will support exhibitions by local artists where possible, and show visual artwork whenever we gather audiences, such as at performance events.
• Yea Arts Hub
  Our executive continues work on a plan to create an Arts precinct centred on the Yea Railway Station. This will involve creating a committee of management and consulting broadly with the community to develop a strategic plan for the use of the space. If you have interest in this please make contact with us.
