Grant Acknowledgement

Since the formation of the Hervey Bay Art Society we have been fortunate to receive a number of grants which has enhanced our ability to execute our mission of encouraging appreciation of and participation in the arts in the Hervey Bay Region.

We would particularly like to acknowledge the Queensland Government and the Fraser Coast Regional Council. From their Gambling Benefit Fund and Community Grants Scheme respectively, we have received generous grant support in recent years. This has assisted us in providing high quality services and facilities to our members and to the community.

We would like to thank and acknowledge the Bendigo Bank for their generous Community Grant of $15,000 to the Hervey Bay Art Society in 2026. This grant will upgrade the facade signage of the front of our Gallery and refresh the inside of our walls.

Many thanks to the Hervey Bay RSL for their donation of the venue for the 2026 Giant Art Sale in September 2026. As a valued sponsor, it’s lovely to have additional grants from sponsors.
