Assorted Grains Inc

Assorted Grains' mission extends beyond just showcasing local talent. It focuses on making the creative sector highly visible and fostering connections among various micro-organisations doing incredible work. “Our core mission is to work with artists to build their visibility, to give them local opportunities to perform for the community and raise the value of the arts in the local community by doing so,” she said. Assorted Grains is also spearheading flagship programs, including Logan’s first film festival and a pride festival with an arts-centric approach. These initiatives are designed to benefit both the community and the artists, promoting cultural engagement and mental health benefits. “For me, there’s a huge amount of benefit to having engagement with the creative sector,” Ali said. “It’s about learning about each other, connecting across cultures, and recognizing the universal value of the arts.” By prioritising local artists and facilitating a platform for skill-sharing and resource exchange, Assorted Grains aims to build a resilient and interconnected creative community in Logan. “Assorted Grains is not just about arts, it is about enhancing community well-being, fostering local talent, and creating a thriving cultural ecosystem.” “Even if you don’t feel like you’re creative, we all benefit from engaging with creativity.” Thank you Logan West News for this incredible story! https://lnkd.in/g6-vh78Q

Liz Irvine did a wonderful thing and introduced the Safe Spaces Logan campaign to the wonderful people at Multicultural Australia! Consequently, they invited us to come along as special guests to their #IDAHOBIT afternoon tea in Logan Central - and asked me to speak about the initiative and what it means for our community. It was a great chance to share what the Safe Spaces Logan initiative is all about and welcome Multicultural Australia on board. I look forward to chatting more to Heath and the team about how we can support each other in this space going forward. Thank you so much for the invite!
