Fraser Coast CommuniTea Set
The Fraser Coast CommuniTea Project is a community-driven initiative coordinated by Council to help local communities reconnect and recover after the natural disasters of 2022. It is funded by the Australian and Queensland Governments under the Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements.
About the Project
With the theme, “A cup of tea can solve anything”, the CommuniTea Project combines art, storytelling, and community bonding to support community recovery and reduce social isolation. This initiative celebrates resilience through shared moments and connection.
CommuniTea Art Workshops
From November to February, local art workshops will invite participants to come together, create, and share stories that reflect the unique spirit of the Fraser Coast. These workshops are open to everyone, offering a supportive space for creative self-expression.
Creating the Fraser Coast CommuniTea Set
Art from these workshops will be crafted into the Fraser Coast CommuniTea Set, symbolising the region’s diversity and strength. This collection will visually narrate the community's journey and connection to the land, capturing the spirit of resilience and unity.
Get involved!
Whether you’re an artist, storyteller, or tea lover, the Fraser Coast CommuniTea Project welcomes you. Join us, share a cup of tea, and be part of creating something meaningful for our community.
