It was an absolute joy to host the Caloundra Chamber of Commerce’s Coffee in Caloundra networking event! ☕️

A huge thank you to all our groups, members and volunteers who helped set up the wonderful displays and make the event happen. And, of course, thank you to everyone who came along!

We loved sharing our creative space, making new connections and catching up with old ones. It was a fantastic morning, and we hope everyone enjoyed it as much as we did. What a great community 💙✨

🩵 Our creative community just got a lot cooler — literally!

Caloundra Arts Centre Association extends a massive thank you to the Sunshine Coast Council 🙏.

Thanks to the Council’s generous support, we have been able to purchase and install additional air-conditioning units in our venue. Their 'Major Grant Community Facilities' contribution has made a wonderful difference to our community organisation, creating a much more comfortable and enjoyable centre for everyone.

We also want to express our gratitude for the council’s Community Partnership Funding Program. As a current recipient, this funding provides crucial relief against rising operational costs. This means we can keep doing what we do best: fostering the arts and offering a space where people love to gather, create, learn and connect.

Thank you, Sunshine Coast Council, for investing in our community and making such a positive difference!
