The Orbost Arts Centre is preparing to reflect on a busy year and look toward the future as it hosts its Annual General Meeting (AGM) on Sunday, August 30, at 5pm.
The centre is inviting local residents, art enthusiasts and supporters to attend.
The meeting will provide an opportunity to learn more about the centre’s operations, celebrate its recent milestones, and discover how to get involved in supporting local artists and volunteers.
As a vital community asset, the Orbost Arts Centre is open seven days a week from 10am to 3pm.
It offers a welcoming point of interest for visitors to the town and serves as a source of pride for local residents looking to showcase the area to guests.
To maintain these daily operations and foster local creativity, the centre relies on a dedicated network of volunteers who coordinate a diverse calendar of events and services.
Throughout the year, the centre hosts regular art exhibitions and one-off workshops, annual events, including the St Kilda Film Festival, Sunday music and dancing sessions, as well as one-act plays and hosted bus tours.
Volunteer efforts also keep the facility running through essential tasks such as front-of-house greeting, kitchen hospitality and general maintenance.
Organisers are encouraging community members to step forward and assist in keeping the Arts Centre open and thriving.
For those who may not wish to join the formal committee, there are numerous other ways to contribute, such as welcoming visitors at the door or assisting with specific activities and events.
By joining the committee or offering a helping hand, community members can help ensure the centre continues to grow.
