Club Weld is a powerful amalgam of skills-based learning, collaborative creation, public presentation and cultural opportunities where participants make and release their own music, perform live, and participate in music and cultural industry professional development programs. The program offers musicians increased professional and societal participation through partnerships with cultural organisations and mainstream music venues and festivals, collaborations with high profile guest musicians, visual artists, video makers, and connections with diverse audiences and cultural industry leaders.

Since 2018 ACE has undertaken creative projects and initiatives to improve the well-being and happiness of frail and dementia affected people in residential care, with the aim of producing and disseminating to the aged care industry ‘cultural care’ models for the final years of life. Our ongoing project Creativity Village (and its pilot project Motel Sisters In Care), undertaken in collaboration with Abel Tasman Village in Chester Hill, delivers creative exploration, cultural production and training involving residents, staff, clinicians, volunteers, artists and creatives along with clinical and social impact research and reporting.
