After receiving a Regional Arts Victoria grant, the township of Neerim South is set to embark on an artistic transformation.
For a town with a population of only 600 people, a $350,000 arts grant is a pretty big coup. Neerim South, located in West Gippsland, is one of five towns to receive a Regional Arts Victoria grant for 2013. The funding will enable the community to undertake several arts projects. It is hoped that upon completion these initiatives will help stimulate economic growth within the town and surrounding areas.
