The former Cowwarr Butter Factory is architecturally significant as a rare example of an industrial building employing Federation Arts & Crafts design traditions built in 1918.
The Cowwarr Art Space, is now a highly effective, nationally recognised creative space, that incorporates facilities for; exhibitions, performances, workshops, training and residential studios that attracts, state, national and international artists. By delivering a program that gives the audience a positive experience and an insight into current arts practice it ensures the local community has access and the opportunity to engage with the arts and artists.
This privately funded facility is a unique cultural asset that contributes to and enhances the life of the surrounding Gippsland and broader community.
