Creative Connections Whitsundays is looking at transforming the former Proserpine Information Centre, located next to the Proserpine Museum, into a vibrant community art gallery through their ‘Frame Our Future’ campaign.
This space will be more than just a gallery; it will be a dynamic hub for local artists to exhibit their work, a venue for creative workshops, and a welcoming place for people to gather, learn, and connect.
Creative Connections Whitsundays say the building has great potential but it needs some work. They want to enclose the veranda, add soundproofing, fit out the space with flooring, lighting, furniture, and materials for workshops. It’s a big project but they say it will make a meaningful impact.
Once complete, the gallery will be a valuable asset for the entire community. It will boost local tourism, support small businesses, and help establish Proserpine as a cultural destination. Most importantly, it will provide locals with a space to create, share, and connect.
Creative Connections is currently seeking donations to allow them to bring this dream to life.
Creative Connections is a local group whose focus is to highlight the region's local artists and the art gallery could be a great addition to support their mission.
