Sydney Islamic Arts Museum
We are pleased to announce that ISRA Academy was successful in securing a $26.3 million grant to build the Sydney Islamic Arts Museum. This grant is part of the WestInvest Community Project Grants initiative of the NSW State Government where a total of $1.6 billion in funding has been awarded to projects across 15 eligible LGAs in Western Sydney.
Â
This grant is not only a success for ISRA Academy, but it is also a success for the Muslim community and the wider public. It will be the first arts museum of its kind in Sydney. It will be a platform to facilitate and nurture a deeper understanding of Islam through its rich contribution to the arts, culture and civilisation.
Â
We look forward to working with the community and stakeholders in making this pioneering project a reality. We will be developing a website where updates on the project will be made available in due course. We will inform you when this website is up and running.
Â
We would like to thank Charles Sturt University for the ongoing partnership. We would also like to thank everyone who contributed letters of support for this project, we appreciate your support.
