Community Art Projects 

Thread and Press CIC are committed to providing art and creative experiences to communities in our area.  As part of this commitment, we seek funding to run projects where there is an identified project need or beneficiary. We are interested in a wide range of projects, particularly those that:

  • Provide creative experiences to those who might not normally have access to due financial or location restrictions

  • Provide opportunity to use creativity as a way to promote positive mental health

  • Provide connection for communities, particularly those in isolated areas

  • Provide new and exciting opportunities

  • Provide opportunity to use creativity to explore issues or themes within a wider context
