A Piano for Saltwater
Saltwater Busselton will be an innovative performing arts centre and the acquisition of a grand piano is integral to realising the vision of Saltwater as a vibrant and dynamic hub for artistic exploration, collaboration, and community engagement. With its versatility and timeless appeal, the grand piano will serve as a centrepiece for musical performances, workshops, and therapeutic sessions, attracting diverse audiences and enhancing the cultural landscape of Busselton.
The presence of a grand piano at Saltwater will have a multifaceted impact on our community, think what it will offer youth in our region with the opportunity for youth-focused music programs, including Busselton's very own Eisteddfod, songwriting workshops, band rehearsals, and open mic nights, providing young people with opportunities to showcase their talents, collaborate with peers, and engage with the local arts community.
The Friends of the Cultural Precinct kindly request your support in making this vision a reality through a donation towards the purchase of the grand piano for Saltwater. Your contribution will play a significant role in enriching the cultural vitality, community well-being, and economic prosperity of Busselton and you will be able to enjoy performances in Saltwater knowing that you are an important part of this instrument and the beautiful music it plays.
Donations to this campaign through the Australian Cultural Fund are tax deductible. This is a fundraising platform similar to the GoFundMe platform. To arrange a direct transfer please email friends.bcp22@gmail.com.
All size donations are welcomed.
A heartfelt thank you to the donors supporting the Grand Piano Campaign
The Friends of Busselton Cultural Precinct are deeply grateful to these initial donors for their incredible generosity. These donations demonstrate the community’s support for the piano and is a powerful reminder of what can be achieved when individuals and organisations come together to support a common cause.
