An idea needs somewhere to begin.
For Watershed Dance Collective, an Arts OutWest Cultural Fund Microgrant helped Let’s Fly take flight.
It gave regional artists Julian Renlong Wong and Renata Commisso the opportunity to work intensively with acclaimed choreographer Sue Healey, developing a new physical theatre work for young audiences here in the Central West.
One grant.
Three days of creative development.
But potentially years of life ahead for the work it helped create.
THIS IS WHAT YOUR DONATION CAN DO.
It can give an idea its first chance.
An artist their next step.
A community a new experience.
A creative project the opportunity to fly.
October 22 is AusArt Day.
Across Australia, people are being asked to support the creativity they love. We’re asking you to support creativity here, in our region.
WE FUND THE WORK.
TO DO THAT, WE NEED YOU TO FUND US.
Your gift to Arts OutWest is so much more than a donation.
It’s the beginning of what happens next.
MAKE ART HAPPEN.
This fundraising campaign has been assisted by the Australian Government through Creative Australia, its principal arts investment and advisory body.
