Support Cementa

Since 2013, Cementa has transformed Kandos into one of regional Australia’s most dynamic contemporary arts communities. What began as an ambitious festival has grown into a thriving regional arts ecology spearheaded by our beautiful biennial festival and supported by our community-engaged artist residencies, youth programs, artist-led initiatives, and countless bold, experimental projects.

Together with our community, we’ve built something extraordinary. Through the building we purchased in 2022 we supported regional artists to establish the WAYOUT Artspace. We created The Uncooperative, our hugely successful youth program empowering young people through contemporary art and we continue to discover new ways for artists and communities to make art together.

Artist-centred and community-driven, Cementa is committed to ensuring contemporary regional art not only survives, but thrives.

If you love what we do and want to help us to do more of it, please give generously. Every donation helps us employ and create opportunities for artists, support young people, and deliver transformative projects in Kandos and beyond.

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

Donate online via our Paypal, or learn more about our annual giving program below.
