Esperance Community Arts Membership
Why Join Esperance Community Arts?
The arts are an integral part of our community. Our members include individuals and organisations who want to support arts practice in the Esperance region. We believe that participation in the arts can build community capacity and resilience, and contribute to health and well-being.
Esperance Community Arts connects and informs members through regular newsletters, networking opportunities and collective advocacy for arts. We also partner on arts projects with individuals, community groups, agencies and businesses to encourage creativity, cultural prosperity, diversity and access for all.
Your membership will assist Esperance Community Arts to develop, promote and support arts in our community.
