Harrigans Lane CoLab

As of June 4, 2025, Harrigans Lane Collective was registered as a charity and renamed Harrigans Lane CoLab.

In 2012, Harrigans Lane Collective was established as a business for charitable purposes operating with funding from The Wolfe Family Trust.

Our Mission as Harrigans Lane CoLab remains, “to advance culture by offering a diverse, inter-disciplinary program of events, concerts, and residencies that foster the creation of innovative new works. Set in a unique natural environment these initiatives also enrich the social, cultural and educational experiences of audiences”.

Harrigans Lane CoLab (HLC) is an interarts program and production organisation with award-winning venues set in remote natural bushland on the New South Wales/Queensland border. Directed by Bruce and Jocelyn Wolfe, this organisation, funded by the Wolfe Family Trust, supports visual artists, musicians, performing artists, composers, writers, designers, and conservationists in projects that have a demonstrated connection to or presentation outcome at Harrigans Lane. The 450-acre property is part of the NSW Biodiversity program and offers many nature trails.

We encourage experimentation in music, art and architecture, as well as collaborations across disciplines that seek to deepen interdisciplinary knowledge and skills, and which are sensitive to the environment.

We offer a residency program which is open to individuals or collaborations in groups of up to 3 who wish to draw inspiration from this unique environment and utilise buildings and facilities to enable their work and further their creative practice.

We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of these lands, dialects of the Western Bundjalung people, including Gidabal (Githabul), and pay our respect to Elders, past, present and emerging.
