BECOME A GBART SUPPORTER! - from Jan to Dec 2023
GBART’s primary objectives include supporting and promoting the Granite Belt’s growing arts sector, as well as sustaining well-being objectives for our community.
GBART is a Not For Profit Association incorporated in 2019. Our point of difference from other art and craft trails that are passive or “exclusive” is that we want participants to who would not normally see themselves in an art gallery, getting “hands on” and doing things that may be perceived as “quirky” or “different”.
All members will receive an e-newsletter and early notification of special events or information about similar events as received from other organisations.
Membership does not automatically place an artisan on the Trail. This is a separate process and requires specific separate criteria and conditions to be met. Businesses and Artisans will be listed on the GBART website and social media; Friends will receive pre-sale notice of opening night tickets before they go on sale elsewhere.
To enable GBART to reach its objectives and to continue to grow, we invite you to become a member of GBART Inc. Your financial contribution to GBART inc. is more than just dollars and cents in the bank. When you become a member of GBART inc, you become a part of our creative family!
All members to GBART inc. are automatically subscribed to our e-newsletters and will receive early notification of special events and information.
PLEASE NOTE: Membership commences in January each year. Applications from 1 November or later will carry forward to the next year.

GBART Inc. is a not-for-profit incorporated association created in 2019 to establish a community wellbeing event, offering ways for both locals and visitors to enjoy the Granite Belt’s rich and diverse arts scene and cultural assets.
“The Fair Trading Model Rules which govern incorporated associations, require anyone applying to become a financial member of GBART to confirm that they (i) have not been convicted of an indictable offence; and (ii) that they will comply with the rules; and (iii) will not do anything to harm the character or interests of GBART. If circumstances change regarding (i) and/or (ii) or (iii), or fees are unpaid, then membership will be at an end”

Business Supporters & Members
Business members will be promoted as supporters of GBART on social media, on our website and in e-newsletters sent out to our growing subscriber database (e.g. “Coming to Stay for GBART? Here are the accommodation places that are GBART supporters”).
$55 (GST Incl) /calendar year from Jan to December.
Venues may make a commercial choice to host artisans who want to apply to be on the trail.
The application to be on a trail is a separate process from membership of GBART Inc. which must be completed by the relevant artisan. GBART does not get involved in commercial arrangements between venues and artisans, however we reserve the right to centralize and standardize commission arrangements in the future.
Friend Members
Enjoy social membership and join us as a friend.
As well as that warm fuzzy feeling of belonging, as a GBART Inc member, your name will be added to the VIP guest list in advance of tickets being announced for sale to the public for any events.
Membership $55 (GST Incl) /calendar year from Jan to December.
Artisan Members
This is a fabulous opportunity for any artisan looking at exposure for their arts business/passion whether you decide to apply to be on the trail or not.
As an artisan member of GBART inc you will be listed on the GBART website for one year and subscribed to our newsletters.
Membership $33 (GST Incl) /calendar year from Jan to December.
NOTE: GBART inc. membership is separate from the process of meeting specific criteria of artisans applying to be on the Art and Craft Trail and does not guarantee you are on the trail. ONLY Artisans can apply to be on the trail (vs other businesses) but they may make their own commercial/private arrangements with any venue of their choosing.
Associate Members
This membership is for those aged 17 years or younger, or who hold a valid student ID.
It is a great way for youth to feel they are contributing to their community and to pave the way for their having a voice in the arts. You will be subscribed to our newsletter and be first in line for anything that enables you to take part in GBART.
Please email a photo of your ID to gb.art.trail@gmail.com to validate your membership.
Membership $16.50 (GST Incl) /calendar year from Jan to December.
