For 25 years, Crossroad Arts has been developing the sphere of celebrating communities, have embraced equity, diversity, and confidence, through collaborative arts.
And, for 2023, the Annual Giving Program has taken a turn, with ReNew Mackay vowing to match donations, dollar for dollar, up to $5,000, until June 30.
“Supporting things in Mackay, from a financial point of view, is easy,” ReNew Mackay Director, Craig Percival, said.
“It’s what the people behind the scenes at Crossroad Arts do that is important to the Mackay Community and the work that really matters. I encourage everyone to get involved, understand what Crossroad Art is all about and become involved.”
This past week, Crossroad Arts have accomplished its first target, reaching $5,00, with ReNew Mackay matching the donation.
Crossroad Arts is committed to the inclusivity and diversity of the performing and creative arts, offering a number of outreach and service programs to aid in the development of avid artists.
Being a not-for-profit organisation, the Annual Giving is a vital tool in funding the organisations community outreach program and workshops.
The Annual Giving program will aid in expanding the continued workshops and events it conducts in regional and remote Queensland, which have included delivering a three-day contemporary movement workshop in partnership with Dancenorth, located in Townsville, and La Boite Theatre Company, located in Brisbane, and hosting a ‘Street View Gallery’, an opportunity for Mackay-and-Whitsunday-Local artists with disability to have their art exhibited in the Crossroad Art street side gallery, for a month.
“I encourage other businesses to have the conversation with Crossroad Arts… I think it is important to think about your business in the context of where it sits within the community and what support can be offered to organisations like Crossroad Arts,” ReNew Mackay Director, Sean Kelly said.
