Does any of this sound familiar?
Our purpose is to enrich lives through the transformative power of the arts, fostering talent, and building a vibrant and inclusive community. We offer something for all ages and interests so we hope the following is helpful.
Car seats, scooters, and sand everywhere. Jess (32) and Dan (34) juggle kindy drop-offs, FIFO rosters, and grommet lessons at Surfers Point. They’re budget-savvy, pram-friendly, and love anything that runs before bedtime.
They picnic like pros and want screen time that feels like an outing, not a compromise. They’re grateful for spaces that welcome noisy enthusiasm and half-eaten crackers.

Sundowners Movies Family Shows
Carol (68) and Peter (71) sea-changed from Perth, traded briefcases for bush walks, and now schedule dinner for 5:30. They like comfy seats, clear sightlines, and a cuppa after.
He’s into history; she’s into memoir; both adore a well-played piano and anything that feels neighbourly. Mondays are for a gentle toe-tap and catching up with familiar faces in the foyer.

Young@HEART Classical Music Author Talks
Mia (41), recently divorced, Pilates by day and journal-scribbler by night. She’s rebuilding her “going-out” muscle—prefers safe, cozy venues where staff remember faces.
She’s curious, bookish, and partial to a smart film or women-led storytelling that lands somewhere between funny and fierce. She’ll say yes to a glass of chenin after.

The Nolans rock a roof-rack life: two kids, three bikes, four wetsuits. When the swell’s down, they chase stoke indoors—epic climbs, oceans, and snowpack on the big screen.
They’re happiest when a program feels like a shared quest and the foyer chat is as good as the films.

BANFF Mountain Film Festival Ocean Film Festival Family Events
Anita (66) wrapped a big Perth career and moved south for sunsets and syrah. She collects local art, loves premium experiences, and has a soft spot for supporting community.
She’ll dress up for a special guest evening, bid on a painting, and then take friends to a late supper on the main street.

Classical Music Exhibitions Author Talks
Sam (28), textile tinkerer by night, cellar-door casual by day. She’s got ideas galore but freezes at “show us your work.”
She craves low-stakes exhibition visits, professional pep talks, and a creative community that’s kind, not cliquey.
She’d love:
Exhibitions Workshops
Tom (52) moved for a fresh start; some weekends feel too quiet. He wants regular, gentle ways to be around people—no pressure to “be on,” just shared moments and familiar faces.
Live music you can tap along to, free lawn concerts, and welcoming festival sessions that spark hallway chats are his jam.

Sundowners Young@HEART Margaret River Readers & Writers
Aisha (35) arrived from South Africa on a work visa with a suitcase and big hopes. New job, no network. She wants events that are easy to attend solo, culturally open, and full of conversation starters.
Films, author talks, and free outdoor gigs help her meet locals without small-talk dread.
