Noosa Arts and Crafts Assc

Welcome to Noosa Arts & Crafts Association, a community organisation established for adult members to share their love and knowledge of arts and crafts. We are a not-for-profit organisation and membership is open

to local residents and to anyone visiting the region for an extended period. All members are encouraged to volunteer in our Gift Shop, arranging events, co-ordinating Activity Groups, becoming a member of

our Management Committee or group leader. If any members have special skills e.g. IT, grant writing, marketing etc. please let us know. We hope you enjoy a friendly and creative time within our community.

OFFICE

Our Office Co-ordinator is in the office on weekdays from 9.00 am to 2.00 pm. This is the place to go for any membership payments, workshop bookings and general information on groups.

ACTIVITY GROUPS

We have more than 24 arts and crafts groups meeting on a regular basis  to create together, and share skills and knowledge with each other. There is a brief description and contact details for each of these groups

following. To join, simply make contact with the group leader who is also the person to whom you can address any concerns or queries throughout the year.

We always welcome new ideas and initiatives.

MEMBERSHIP & ACTIVITY FEES

Your annual membership fee entitles you to attend any activity group within Noosa Arts & Crafts Association. This membership fee is renewable annually at the end of June.

An activity fee of $2 is payable each time you attend an activity group meeting. All fees are an essential part of our funding as, although Wallace House is owned by Noosa Council, Noosa Arts & Crafts is not-for-profit

organisation and is responsible for all the costs of running and maintaining the premises.Some groups have additional fees for materials, models etc.

WORKSHOPS

Workshops are one of our main sources of revenue. We select experienced tutors and teachers to run workshops and tutorials throughout the year. These not only attract new members but are also a

source of development for our members. We encourage learning and sharing of new skills in all areas of art and craft.
