HISTORY

38 Years in Business

History of Murray ACE

In 1981, Murray ACE Swan Hill Inc was originally known as Dowling House where the aim of the House was to allow local artists to exhibit and sell their work in pleasant surroundings.

1991 saw the name change from ‘Dowling House Arts Centre Incorporated’ to Dowling House Incorporated’ and by 1995, it became increasingly clear that the future of Dowling House lay in the direction of being a community provider for Adult Education.

In 2001, the organisation’s name was changed to Murray ACE Swan Hill Incorporated, to provide a better indicator of the core business – Adult and Community Education.

“Our vision is to provide a vibrant sustainable community hub.”
