And just like that, 2020 is off and racing! The last couple of months of 2019 were exceptionally busy and I loved every moment. Here’s a snapshot of what I got up to around the South and North Burnett regions:

  • September: Facilitated Grant-ED 101: Creating a "grant ready” project workshops in the communities of Blackbutt (South Burnett) and Eidsvold (North Burnett)

  • September: Provided business planning support for the team behind the Maidenwell Country Muster and The Sauce Man QLD

  • September-October: Coordinated a three day school holiday workshop with youth in Murgon (South Burnett), revitalizing a public community space with facilitating artist Kane Brunjes. Over the three days we had 67 community members (some as young as 3 years old!) pick up a paint brush and join in. This project was made possible by the support of South Burnett Regional Council, South Burnett PCYC and the Regional Arts Fund.

  • October: Discussed business plans and cash flow forecasting at BIEDO’s Taking Care of Burnett Inland Business workshop in Murgon (South Burnett)

  • October: Completed the Arts Fundraising & Sponsorship unit as part of my studies with Deakin University to obtain a Master of Business (Arts & Cultural Management)

  • November: Commenced the Human Resource Management unit as part of my studies, currently on track to complete my Masters by end-2021.

  • December: Hit “submit” on the last grant application for 2019. By my calculations, this was application #16 for the year, with applications written for a number of clients, as well as seeking support the Murgon Youth Public Art Project.

I would like to extend my gratitude to my valued clients, project partners and collaborators who supported my business during 2019. I can’t wait to see what 2020 brings!
