2025 ArtsNational Coffs Coast Sponsorship, Business and Community Organisations Partnerships Program
ArtsNational Coffs Coast (formerly ADFAS Coffs Coast) is a not-for-profit organisation, run by volunteers, which provides ten illustrated, informative and entertaining presentations on diverse arts related subjects. Our arts talks are delivered by experienced international and Australian speakers monthly from February to November.
The post talk suppers we provide encourage conversation and community networking. We support local businesses with sandwiches from Fresco, Coffs Harbour, and sushi from Sushi Roll Express, Toormina.
ArtsNational Coffs Coast’s bar manager made the following comment after our final Arts Talk for 2024:
"At the bar, I overhear lots of conversations, and the buzz was the most positive and upbeat I have heard. A great way to finish the year, especially with so many guests who may think favourably about subscribing for 2025!"
Our November arts talk, Ten Novels That Changed The World, attracted 182 audience members. A number of local Book Clubs attended as guests, and enjoyed the arts talk and conversations afterwards. Many of these guests have indicated that they will now join ArtsNational Coffs Coast for the 2025 program.
After two successful years of operation, ArtsNational Coffs Coast finished the 2024 season with 119 members.
While we have built our membership base over the last two years, it will take a couple more years to build up the numbers needed to comfortably cover costs while keeping membership and guest fees accessible. A third of these members and several new members had already paid for their 2025 subscription before the November 2024 arts talk.
To help ArtsNational Coffs Coast to continue to provide these popular informative and entertaining arts talks on diverse arts related subjects in 2025, we are seeking sponsorship from Coffs Coast Businesses and Community Organisations. We also want to form mutually beneficial Partnerships with other Community Organisations.
