2019 PROGRAM DEVELOPMENTS

This year will be a transformative year for Flying Arts Alliance as we upgrade

our internal business systems to better service you and your needs. Our hope

is that by the end of the year we will have a fully integrated CRM as the engine

of our little light “art craft”! On the surface everything will be business as

usual, however under the bonnet everything will be supercharged. This means

we will be more effective and efficient at data management, leaving more

time to build our relationships with you, our valued community of artists, arts

workers, educators, and arts communities. Win win!

In 2019, we are again offering a strong program built on 48 years of

experience, while also integrating new trends in the business of art and

to address the demands of a crowded curriculum. More than ever, we are

focused on securing our future through fundraising efforts, to ensure that

in 2021, when we celebrate half a century of operation, you can be assured

we are going to be around for at least another 50 years - and we will need

your help! Our vision of the future is to continue to inspire the appreciation

and practice of the visual arts in Queensland, as a lifetime interest or career

aspiration, no matter where you live in our great state.

We trust you enjoy the vast array of professional development experiences

we have on offer for you in 2019.
