Veolia Mulwaree Trust...lend a helping hand

Missy Jacobs, BDAS Vice president with Richard Bramham BDAS Committee Member

Veolia Mulwaree Trust has generously awarded the Bowral & District Art Society with a fantastic grant of $12,399. This grant money will be used, in conjunction with money raised by the BDAS, to renovate the kitchen at the Bowral Art Gallery. The gallery hosts up to 32 exhibitions a year all with opening events as well as other social functions. A new kitchen with ample storage and easy usability will be greatly appreciated by everyone.

The BDAS is a not-for-profit society that relies on it's membership, fundraising events, gallery/studio hire and grants to fund its' organisation. Grants such as this are vital to the society and greatly appreciated.

The Trust also supports a range of academic and creative arts scholarships annually.  Since 2005, the Veolia Mulwaree Trust has distributed over $14 million to more than 1,800 community projects, and academic and arts scholarships.
