The project enhances the development of local artists and benefits the local community through encouragement, realisation and exhibition of local talent. It is auspiced by Cooloola Human Services Network and entirely self funded through tuition fees and fundraising efforts. The group meets each week at the Gympie Regional Gallery. Classes are extremely popular and well attended.

Techniques include painting, craft, clay, theatre and a variety of specialist tutors attend to share their skills.

How does CHSN assist the community?

“Being a member of CHSN and attending the network meetings opens the door to so many opportunities. These include being informed about planned community events; connected to the broad range of local and outreach services available; empowered by collaborating together to “make a difference to our community”. Regular attendance to CHSN Network meetings is a top priority for me in my Hub role”.
