Case Study: Bundaberg Arts Society
The Bundaberg Art Society needed their own studio space after 50 years of sub-letting spaces in the city.
The Bundaberg Art Society worked with a cultural development officer on their strategic plan and negotiated with Council for a space in a small cultural precinct.
They then applied to Jupiters Casino Benefit Fund for the cost of a shed structure with large concrete aprons front and back for wet areas for workshops.
The membership grew in the excitement of the preparation phase. The members contributed considerable sums to surmount every obstacle that stood in the way and on their second try at the application the funds came through.
It took a lot of tenacity, the gift of time of volunteers to follow through every stage of the enterprise and the generous donations of members, but the results have delighted everyone and will ensure the future of the society.
