Last month I hit the road and visited four communities across the South Burnett and Gympie regions delivering a half-day Grant Writing for the Arts workshop - what a blast! Thank you to the 54 participants who joined me in Goomeri (1 February), Kingaroy (3 February), Gympie (14 February) and Murgon (15 February), it was a pleasure to meet you all and hear your project ideas.

I’m pleased to announce I’m one of 67 Queensland artists/arts workers to be awarded funding support through Arts Queensland’s Individuals Fund. This funding will enable me to undertake a four-month mentorship and Cultural Resource Mapping project for the South Burnett region.

My residency with CQ RASN as part of the artist ‘at home’ residency program has also continued throughout this month (new art works pictured above). Later in July, I’ll be exhibiting some art works created during this time at a number of Kingaroy businesses - further information coming soon!

New program launched - South Burnett Arts Hour. I’ve teamed up with South Burnett Arts to develop and present a new online program for the South Burnett arts community, enabling access to relevant guest speakers and providing a platform for local, informal networking.

Hello, I’m Olivia and I’m the face behind this one-woman microbusiness, working with and supporting community, business and government through a range of consulting services focused on Projects, Planning, and Funding. I live in the beautiful South Burnett region in Queensland, located just a click of the mouse away, or 2.5 hours from Brisbane.

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.

Back by popular demand, next month I’ll be facilitating another Creating a “grant ready” project workshop as part of the Burnett Inland Economic Development Organisation’s Grant-ED program - see you soon Blackbutt!

Last month I headed to Biggenden with Team BIEDO to facilitate the “Grant-ED 101: Creating a ‘grant ready’ project” workshop for community and small business. It was my first visit to the North Burnett since taking the family to the Gayndah Orange Festival and it didn’t disappoint.
