SUPPORT CEMENTA

Since 2013, Cementa has established a thriving regional arts ecology in and around Kandos. This includes our beautiful festival, our community engaged artist residency program, and all the crazy stuff we’ve done in between. With the support and participation of our community we produce our beautiful biennial festival and community engaged artist residency program alongside other crazy projects in between! We purchased and handed over a building to regional artists to create WAYOUT Artspace, developed our hugely successful youth program ‘The Uncooperative’, and are always on the lookout for new ways for artists and communities to make art together.

Proudly artist-centered and community-driven, Cementa is pursuing our vision of contemporary regional art through seeding and supporting a thriving regional arts ecology. If you love what we do and want us to do more of it, please give generously. Every dollar you donate now is a dollar you don’t have to pay tax on, and donations of all sizes make a difference.

Donations over $500 are publicly acknowledged (at your discretion). Cementa is a registered charity and donations over $2 are tax deductible.
