Our project is a flexible program of workshops across a wide variety of visual and performing arts disciplines, catering for all ages and abilities.
Workshops will be delivered through the year as tasters (1/2 day), one-day and two-day masterclasses, by experienced professional artists. These will be organised by renowned sculptor and artist Deborah Halpern and the Dunolly Ministry of Fun. Cost for most would be free, to allow the widest possible uptake. The finale would be a festival celebration, showcasing work created through the workshop program, mini-workshops, a market and video projection of the experiences.
Our community, one of the most economically disadvantaged in Victoria, is gradually awakening to the benefits of arts experience as a means of increasing wellbeing and community connection. By providing a constant flow of creative opportunities over a long period, we will increase the creative capacity of the local community, create working relationships over a wider region and increase the positive ‘can-do’ image of our community. This will flow on to having an economic benefit to other businesses, build community pride and connection, while harnessing the creativity and resilience of a small community as a currency for creating change

Dunolly is fast becoming a centre for art and crafts and collectables. It appears there are already 5 art facilities with more to come. Why not take the time to make a visit.

Dunolly is fortunate to attract so many wonderful artisans and musicians, who come and share their gifts generously with the community.
This project adds colour and skills to the people living in this old gold prospecting town and surrounds.
Well done to all who have created this space for us to learn and play in.

Dunolly is pure Gold and this year long engagement would be a fantastic injection into the local community and deserves our support.

This would be very good for Dunolly and the region to have a project that builds and celebrates community such as this.

We are very excited to have Deborah working with us on this project. She is a very welcome new property owner in our main street.

This project will be something that can help bring the locals together to create art in a social and relaxed atmosphere. Working with such a respected and well known artist as Deb Halpern will help newcomers to become creative and build a sense of pride for the community.
