Hello, 2023! Nothing says ‘bringing in a brand new year’ than a brand new series of free grant writing workshops! I’m busy working on a detailed reflection on ‘the year that was’ in all things business, grant writing and art projects in 2022, and I look forward to sharing this soon. For now, I’m thrilled to announced this free professional development workshop opportunity for the regional arts and cultural community coming to Goomeri, Kingaroy, Gympie and Murgon in February. If you live and work in the Gympie or South Burnett regions, I’d love to see you there!
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
ARTS COMMUNITY INVITED TO FREE GRANT WRITING WORKSHOPS IN FEBRUARY
A new series of free grant writing workshops for artists has been announced for the Gympie and South Burnett regions, scheduled to visit four venues in February.
The professional development workshops attracted funding from both Gympie Regional Council and South Burnett Regional Council’s Regional Arts Development Fund programs, enabling all sessions to be fully subsidised and free for participants to attend.
Imbil-based grant writer, project coordinator and freelance arts worker Olivia Everitt will facilitate the Grant Writing for the Arts workshop in the following communities:
Wednesday 1 February 11am – 2pm (Goomeri Hall of Memory)
Friday 3 February 12-3pm (Kingaroy Town Hall Reception Room)
Tuesday 14 February 1-4pm (Gympie Regional Gallery Workshop Space)
Wednesday 15 February 11am – 2pm (The Platform, Murgon)
Mrs. Everitt said, “I’m excited to host this workshop in Goomeri, Kingaroy, Gympie and Murgon next month. I have over 10 years’ experience in preparing grant applications for artists, organisations, festivals and projects in the arts and cultural sector, so this is an opportunity to share tried and tested methods to attract grant funding with participants. Having lived and worked in both the South Burnett and Gympie regions since 2017, I’m passionate about seeing increased investment in our local creative talent.”
The Grant Writing for the Arts workshop will be offered in four locations to increase its accessibility, and is recommended for artists, arts organisations, festivals, event managers, arts workers and creative businesses. No prior grant writing experience is necessary.
