NRCF GRANT AWARDED TO ILUKA EMPORIUM FOR FREE CREATIVE WORKSHOPS FOR THE COMMUNITY in 2023

“STRENGTHENING COMMUNITY FRIENDSHIPS AND RESILIENCE THROUGH THE ARTS”

Iluka Emporium Incorporated is proud to announce that we have been awarded a Grant from the Northern Rivers Community Foundation to offer FREE creative workshops in 2023.

The Nine Free workshops will be provided to the community throughout 2023. Each workshop will be lead by an experienced facilitator often in their home studio .The workshops are designed to be relaxed, enjoyable and flexible for the benefit of small groups of people of different ages. The participants will also be involved in collaborating together to hold Exhibitions on the completion of each workshop. Connecting with others in this way will encourage friendships and wellbeing.

NRCF state : We connect people and communities to tackle challenging social and environmental problems in the Northern Rivers. We are in it for the long haul, our funding model of investing donor money means we (and you) have a lasting impact on disadvantage. https://nrcf.org.au/
