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 that I’ve commenced a new contract with the good folk at Blackbutt Avocado Festival, where you’ll find me riding the avo-bus as Arts Project Officer two days a week until mid-2022. This new position has been made possible with thanks to funding from FRRR’s Tackling Tough Times Together program.

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.
