March Project Spotlight, High Achievers!

This month, we are shining a light on artists who have exceeded their fundraising targets. These high achievers have reached their fundraising goals in record time and continue to garner support for their fabulous projects.

Olivia Satchell’s campaign for her Grief Trilogy project continues to gather a lot of support. Olivia and her team reached their initial goal of $5,000 and increased their target to $8,000 and are now well on their way to meet their stretch goal of $10,000. The Grief Trilogy is three plays by Liv Satchell and an ensemble of Melbourne’s leading theatre artists, exploring transformational encounters between women in public space. They will be presented as a trilogy at La Mama Theatre in 2023.

The project, which includes a live stage show, a filming of the work and a soundtrack album, crosses art forms by blending a mix of illustration, animation, video art, sound design, lighting design and composition for 6 pianos.

Dóra Rögnvaldsdóttir, a sculptor, arts educator and community artist from the Shoalhaven community, with Southland Creative Inc., started a campaign to raise funds for the completion and installation of Gateway – a sculpture commemorating the 2019/20 bushfires for the Ulladulla foreshore. Not only was the fundraising target met but support continues to grow for this magnificent public sculpture and important contribution to the community.
