Belconnen Arts Centre Ambassadors Program

Belconnen Arts Centre wishes to thank all of its fantastic Ambassadors for their hard work and dedication. We are a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to the arts, and our growth would not be possible without the help of our wonderful Donors, Volunteers, Members, Partners and Artists.

How you can help...

Donors

Donations to Belconnen Arts Centre above $2.00 are tax deductible, and a great way to help directly support the varied events, workshops and programs of the centre. If you're interested in making a contribution, please download the donation form here!

Volunteers

Belconnen Arts Centre is recruiting volunteers to help out in the centre, on the picturesque banks of Lake Ginninderra. Volunteers have the opportunity to become a vital part of the centre's operations by donating their time, skills and experience. Volunteers will gain access and exposure to a wide range of artistic practise, gain new skills and share company with people who are also interested in spending time in this beautiful new arts environment. Particular areas where we would appreciate your assistance range from simple tasks like answering the phone, coordinating media clippings and office support, hosting the kiosk and assisting with exhibitions, events and workshops, collating information for e-news, and web and data entry for people who have good computer skills.

Volunteers will also be invited to undertake initiatives in their own right as the Arts Centre develops over time.

Partners and Sponsors

By becoming a partner or sponsor your organisation can share the benefits of supporting the arts in Belconnen and at the same time create opportunities and vital connections for your own staff and members.

Donor, Sharing Resources and Fundraising

Belconnen Arts Centre Incorporated aims to establish a Public Fund and register for deductible gift recipient status with the ATO through approval on the register of Cultural Organisations. This will enable donors to provide tax-deductible support to the organisation to further its objectives and raise income from sources besides grant funding and venue hire.

The organisation will also share resources with other organisations as appropriate for the further development of the arts in Belconnen and to enable maximum access to the community.

At this point, fundraising initiatives will be limited to the capacity of staff and volunteers to manage such activities and can only be undertaken where such activity is in harmony with the objects of the organisation.

 

Mentors

Every emerging artist can benefit from a mentor and so the opportunity to provide a connection between emerging and professional artists at Belconnen Arts Centre is one that we hope to offer through a number of initiatives.

If you are interested in becoming a mentor or are seeking a mentor, please contact the Program Manager.

For further information on the Ambassadors Program, just email info@belconnenartscentre.com.au or call the Belconnen Arts Centre on (02) 6173 3300.
