Almost one year ago the Ballarat arts community came out in force to support the development of BAA, the need for visibility of the arts in Ballarat and surrounds, and more space and funding for the arts. We need people to become members to make this thing work. We need organisations to become members. We need our community to stand up and say arts are crucial to a healthy and diverse society for Ballarat.
Members who join up before August 31st will become Foundation Members (NOTE: this has been extended), an acknowledgement of your passion for the Arts. We all have a part to play in our local and global arts scene and BAA has been working with the community to establish ways for everybody to become involved in the Arts.
The success of the ‘Operation Foundation’ initiative will be a crucial part of the organisation’s vision to developing a vibrant arts community and financial support from the community was vital to the project.
We invite the community to get on board, and put their money where their mouth is. If you are passionate about the arts, or think it’s important for the Ballarat region, then become a member. You could also make a donation or an offer of goods or service that we can exchange for money in fundraising.
After incorporating in March this year, Ballarat Arts Alive has held a number of public forums, community planning days and networking events. But now the focus is to grow the membership base and start looking for a permanent home to expand their advocacy services and to provide a physical space to support local artists in Ballarat and the surrounding areas.
Of course it would be fantastic if we could establish a multi-purpose community arts space in such a magnificent building as the Provincial Hotel. Its a big call though, but we need big dreams to get BAA really going.
Membership to BAA is reasonably priced for individuals and organisation, and ensures members get invitations to previews, exhibitions, reduced ticketing, merchandising discounts and all the news about upcoming arts based opportunities, a chance to contribute to developing artistic spaces, opportunities for arts based commerce and participation in arts based projects and processes. Join up here… easy
