Last Friday saw the SkillUp Youth Arts program opening night at East Gippsland Art Gallery
So much talent in one space and such fabulous energy.
The SkillUP program seeks to begin to fill the accredited art program void in Gippsland and saw 26 creative folk enroll in 2026. The program could not have gone ahead without the support of Gippsland Community Foundation and is now seeking further support to run the 2027 program.
The creative future of Gippsland depends on initiatives of this kind and it was a pleasure to be among the crowds who loved this exhibit as much as we did.
BRAVO!!

đź’› MAKE REGIONAL ART HAPPEN

Our AusArt Day campaign is officially open!

From today until AusArt Day on Thursday 22 October, you can help Regional Arts Victoria raise $20,000 to commission a new performance work by a regional Victorian artist, created for and with a local community.

And here's something to get excited about: all donations will be matched dollar for dollar, up to a total of $8,000 in matched funding! Your generosity can go twice as far.

Your donation helps fund artists to develop and present new work, inspired by the people, places and stories of regional Victoria.

Because great art doesn't just happen in the city. It happens everywhere. ✨

Art made in a community, for a community.

👉 Donate today via the link in our bio and help us make regional art happen:

Take one little hall, add clever big idea folks who create unforgettable experiences around live performance, make the production slick, the audiences happy and shoot for the stars.
What have you got?
Live at the Bundy
We love all the things you do in your unique little space which has become synonymous with quality, kindness and a touch of whimsy.
Bravo Bundy folk!
You ROCK!!!

SO WHAT'S THE BUNDY ALL ABOUT?

Live at the Bundy was built around a simple idea — put great live music into a little country hall and see what happens.

2027 will be our 13th year, and somewhere along the journey it became about much more than putting on shows.

THE BUNDY HAS BECOME A COMMUNITY BUILT AROUND MUSIC — THE PEOPLE'S VENUE.

We love original live music. We support local artists. We bring artists to our little corner of Gippsland who you may know and plenty you probably don’t. And we encourage our members to occasionally step outside their comfort zone and take a chance on someone they’ve never seen before.

That’s one of the great things about being a member — IT'S AN EXCUSE TO COME TO A SHOW!

Some of our favourite nights have been the ones where people arrived knowing absolutely nothing about the artist and walked out completely blown away.

It works the other way too.

Over the years we’ve built some wonderful relationships with the artists who have played here. They tell other artists about the Bundy, they help us make new connections and, importantly, they want to come back.

OUR AUDIENCE DISCOVERS ARTISTS. ARTISTS DISVOVER US.

And around it goes.

Not every Bundy show is a financial winner. That’s okay. Sometimes the payoff is simply in the music — an extraordinary performance, a room full of happy people and one of those nights that everyone who was there remembers.

We’re not subsidised by anyone. The whole thing keeps moving because people come to shows, our members support us, artists believe in what we’re doing and a bunch of volunteers from LATB and Bundy Hall turn up and help make each show happen.

That support also allows us to put something back.

Over the years LATB has supported local organisations when they’ve needed a hand, helped make youth events possible and generally tried to be useful to the community that has supported us. We don’t make much noise about that stuff. We’d rather just do it.

And now the journey is getting interesting again.

The Bundy Hall will always be the place where this grew up. It’s part of the story and part of what makes a Bundy show a Bundy show.

But we’re also embarking on a new adventure with the SALE MEMORIAL HALL..

Where that ends up, we honestly don’t know yet.

The Memo already holds a special place in the memories of generations of locals. We now have an opportunity to create some new memories there — and whatever this next part of the journey becomes, we’re taking our members along with us.

ULTIMATELY, LATB EXISTS BECAUSE YOU KEEP TURNING UP.

You give us the confidence to book another artist, take another chance, improve another room and put on another show.

As long as the community wants us to keep doing it, we’ll keep doing it.

THE MUSIC MUST NEVER STOP!
