DONATE

Can you help us buy a new kiln this June?

If you are a fan of Arts Project Australia you will be aware of the unique and highly collectible ceramics coming out of the studio.

But did you know that every single object our artists make needs to be fired twice? Or that kilns lose their power over time and when a kiln can’t reach high temperatures the firing process is compromised?

Well, our kiln has been a workhorse for the last 15 years but it’s in trouble.

We’ve made this short video to show you our predicament and hope you might consider donating to our campaign for a new kiln.

We are aiming to raise $15,000 from our community to help cover the costs, which include an environmentally sound ventilation system and heatproof housing.

With a new kiln, there is no limit to what our artists can achieve – they have the ideas, commitment and skills required to make great sculptures if we invest in the right equipment.

Every tax-deductible donation makes a difference and helps us reach our mission – to see Australian artists with intellectual disabilities recognised, earning income and thriving in their art practice.

DONATE NOW

When you give $100 or more you will be invited into our new giving program, APA Creatives which shares the magic of our studio and gallery with our supporters through small scale events and early alerts to new work from the stockroom. Please read on to find out more.
