Since 2008, The F Project,a volunteer run organisation, has enriched the community by providing a welcoming space for all and a gathering place for creatives , involving locals and visitors alike in Festivals, Garden Parties, Artists’ Markets, a Street Parade, Art Exhibitions, Youth Events, Music Events, Artist Residencies, Virtual Writers in Residence, AFilm Society and much more.
The F Project has a membership of approximately 200 paid members and more than 900 newsletter subscribers. The F Project Art Gallery shows 12 exhibitions annually, and has a Retail Shop offering original works from over 50 local artisans, writers and musicians. Our gallery and shop are open Wednesday through Sunday staffed by volunteers (currently a group of over 50 wonderful locals!). The F Project Arts Precinct has Studio spaces for about 20 individual artists and workshop spaces for artists to teach regular art classes.
The F Project Cinema screens arthouse films to its membership fortnightly in a local hall. Other external programs that we facilitate include Workshops, School programs, Open Studios, Artists Markets and major events such as the Annual Fletcher Jones Garden Christmas Party (which is much loved by the wider community, with attendance into the thousands!).
