Home is Where the Hall is is a grassroots, community arts initiative produced by Regional Arts Victoria.
2011 signalled the inaugural event, and during the month of November that year over 70 halls from Emu to Mollyulah presented a huge range of activities, selected and designed by the local community. From bake–offs to dance competitions, photography exhibitions to film nights, Home is Where the Hall is will be a fantastic and fun way to celebrate these vital community hubs.
Regional Arts Victoria is delighted that the following halls participated in Home is Where the Hall is 2011, and look forward to seeing what is in store for 2012.

Thank you for coming up with this idea. It is such an evocative title. I am sure it will bring wonderful memories to many and hopefully will inspire younger generations to honour the roll and history of their local halls.

Wondering if we can get Elaine Hall added at all as we are having a 100 year anniversary on the 12 November 2011.
Hi Seeta,
Thanks for this – unfortunately, registrations have now closed for Home is where the Hall is. Thanks so much for your interest – I hope the hall anniversary is great fun!
Hi RAV – Will Home is Where the Hall is happen again or is it a once off for 2011?
Hi Joy,
Thanks for this – we’re still deciding whether Home is where the Hall is will be an annual event… we’ll let you know as soon as we do! Cheers, RAV
What a fabulous site …. memories came flooding back of my country childhood and all the events that were held in the hall. Thank – a great site.
