Glasshouse Community Support Program

The Glasshouse recognises that communities who nurture creativity and encourage cultural activity result in greater social cohesion and economic development. They challenge, inspire and engage their residents, workers, visitors, businesses and communities.

The Glasshouse takes a broad view of cultural activity, including performing and visual arts and crafts, literature, film, digital arts, design, architecture, history and heritage, food and wine, and their expression through public debate, festivals, exhibitions, performances, competitions and public celebrations.

• The Glasshouse Community Support Program supports not-for-profit organisations who are based in the Port Macquarie Hastings local government area OR who are delivering events directly benefiting the Port Macquarie Hastings local government area.
