"CREATE ~PARTICIPATE ~APPRECIATE"
Keppel Coast Art Council was established in 1999 and is committed to contributing to our local community cultural development by:
(A) Hosting arts products and services provided by Queensland Arts Council;
(B) Initiating and participating in the development of arts products and activities in our local community;
(C) Carrying out arts related projects in association with other arts or community organisations.
Keppel Coast Arts Council is a not-for-profit community organisation that is volunteer-run. We encourage artistic expression, provide opportunities for participation in cultural experiences in many forms and act as a catalyst for making our community a dynamic and vital place to live. We have an affiliation with Queensland Arts Council and this provides support, advice and resources, as well as access to live performing arts, visual arts and arts education. Further information on the Queensland Arts Council is available from its website http://qac.org.au/
