The announcement comes after Labor Opposition Leader Luke Foley’s visit to Campbelltown Arts Centre in December last year with Mr Warren and Member for Macquarie Fields Anoulack Chanthivong.
Mr Warren hosted a roundtable discussion with the Labor leader and staff from Campbelltown City Council to discuss the importance of government support for the arts in the Macarthur region.
Mr Warren said he was delighted that Campbelltown Arts Centre had secured the funding, which will enable it to continue to serve as an important cultural institution in the region.
