Introducing ICE

ICE: Digital Arts and Community

For more than 20 years, Information and Cultural Exchange (ICE) has worked at the intersection of arts, community and technology in one of Australia’s most dynamic regions – Western Sydney. Through digital stories, film, urban music and any other medium with a pulse or a pixel, ICE projects tell the stories of this extraordinary place.

ICE is known for its success with newly arrived migrant and refugee communities, as well as for youth arts. It works at the cutting edge of new technology, specialising in digital media and community cultural development that involves thousands of people every year.

Located in the heart of Parramatta’s cultural precinct, ICE manages Switch, Western Sydney’s state-of-the-art multimedia and digital arts access centre, in partnership with Parramatta Council, and the Switch Academy, offering cost-effective digital training to the public. ICE also runs the renowned Artfiles program, a professional support program and information exchange that keeps an audience of 200,000 linked to Western Sydney’s most inspiring creative producers.
