Artists Doing Business on the Fraser Coast

A great pleasure to be back in Hervey Bay early this week to workshop with the local creative clan.This trip, over a couple of days, we covered the principles of writing funding applications which have a greater possibility of success and demystified the mysteries of getting art to market. An enjoyable few days working the gorgeous subtropical winter with an enthusiastic group of visual artists. Happily also had the time to visit the wonderful Hervey Bay Regional Gallery – a real treat. Thanks to Melissa and the Fraser Coast Regional Council.

Pathway to Greater Funding Success

Quick trip up to Noosa yesterday for a stimulating session with local artists and art workers on the principles of writing grant and funding applications – which have a greater chance of success. Like most things, the essence is in the planning so ensuring that having a clear, well founded idea matched with a grant program of best fit is the starting point of a good application. Get the preparation right and writing the application itself is the easy bit. Thanks to Noosa Shire Council and Flying Arts Alliance. An enjoyable day’s work.
