AGM - Are you coming?

Do you love the work Keppel Coast Arts does in your community?

Do you want to see that work continue?

If so, we need your help.

At the end of this year, several long-serving KCA members will retire from the
Management Committee due to geographical relocation and other personal reasons.
We are therefore urgently seeking nominations for the
2027 Management Committee.

Without people willing to be part of the Management Committee, KCA will not be
able to continue to operate. We think that would be an enormous shame – not only
because it would bring an end to more than 25 years of support for local arts and
culture, but because there has never been a better time to be part of KCA.

In 2026, KCA secured organisational funding for the first time through Arts
Queensland’s Regional Community Arts Program. This has enabled us to engage
paid administrative and bookkeeping support, significantly reducing the workload
carried by committee volunteers. This support will continue throughout 2027,
allowing the incoming committee to focus its energies on the leadership and future
direction of a growing community arts organisation.

You don’t need to be an artist. You might be an arts lover, a regular audience
member, a supporter of community life, or simply someone who believes a thriving
local arts and cultural sector matters. If you have skills, ideas and some time to
contribute, we want to hear from you.

Nominations open 15 October, ahead of our AGM on 15 November.

Interested? Curious? Want to know what’s involved?

Contact us at keppelcoastarts@gmail.com for a chat.

The future of KCA depends on people like you. With your help, we can make
sure the chapter ahead isn’t our last.

Join us and be part of what comes next.

Keppel Coast Arts is a volunteer-run not-for-profit community organisation. Our management and subcommittee structure has been developed, tested and refined over the past decade as we have identified the distinctive strengths within our regional community.

We operate with a flexible subcommittee structure which currently supports 10 diverse groups, encouraging connection within our community. Each group brings people together and builds on our region’s strengths, promoting and showcasing regional talents and identities. See our clubs and groups HERE

Keppel Coast Arts Council management committee meets at 6 pm on the first Tuesday of each month. Members and guests are always welcome.

We welcome new members to join our 200 strong membership group.

KCA invites tax deductible donations through our public fund.
