About

Louis Joel Arts & Community community-owned and operated not-for-profit organisation operating a neighbourhood house/community centre, and Louis Joel Gallery on the site of the historically significant Altona Hospital, located in the heart of the bayside suburb of Altona, Victoria. We provide a diverse range of community programs, accessible to all, with an emphasis on creativity and arts, to connect the community and to nurture a sense of community wellbeing.
 
We support and empower the makers, creators, artists, historians, designers, volunteers, producers and performers of Hobsons Bay and Melbourne’s west by offering opportunities to the community to simply enjoy the experiences and benefits that engaging with the arts can deliver.
