THE FLYING ARTS COMMUNITY
Underpinning Flying Arts’ activities is our network of Standard and
Accredited Members. This year, Flying Arts ended the year with 464
members, comprising of:
• 345 Accredited Members
• 93 Standard/Corporate Members, and
• 26 Honorary, Associate and Life Members
This year was a challenging year for Flying Arts membership. With
COVID-19 impacting many of our members personal projects and
programs, the Accredited Members group and the renewal of their
membership looked to be impacted.
Thankfully, as lockdown restrictions eased and opportunities for artists
increased, applications for membership began to increase and Flying Arts
maintained a similar number of Accredited Members to 2019.
We look forward to continuing to offer professional insurance through our
membership program to our growing network of professional artists
and arts workers and, strive to improve and add value to our membership
services moving forward.
In 2020 Flying Arts founded a new Facebook community page where
Queensland artists, arts workers, arts educators and those who support
them can say connected. By the end of the year Flying Arts welcomed 608
members to the Flying Arts Community group.
