Council recently completed refurbishment work at the former CWA and senior citizens buildings in Wade Avenue, which is now known as the Leeton Multipurpose Community Centre.
To create a buzz about the centre, council will hold what will be known as "Featured February" next year.
Jacob Muthsam from council's community services department explained the concept was aimed at showcasing the new space, as well as the shire's community organisations.
"It's a great opportunity for any club, group or individual that is involved in the arts, cultural or can offer similar experiences to show themselves off," he said.
"We're hoping the idea achieves two things.
"The first is to obviously make the community aware of the facilities at the 'new' centre and the second is to showcase what community groups in our shire have on offer.
"They might be able to pick up a member or two in the process."
The opportunity will also be available for groups to sign up to use the centre, which consists of various offices, meeting spaces and workshop areas.
Mr Muthsam said the calendar to participate was filling up fast.
"We need groups and organisations to get in now because when we get back after the Christmas break we'll be compiling a booklet of what's on and who will be involved," he said.
"Those that want to take part can offer workshops, cooking classes, music lessons or anything like that.
"We've already got some writing workshops booked in, so it would be good to have a big variety.
"It's an exciting idea."
