HA>NESS Donor
“My first year as part of the HA>NESS donor circle has exceeded my expectations. Not only the satisfaction of contributing to the success of emerging Adelaide artists, but the elevated social and cultural events at iconic locations, has offered a bespoke and unique opportunity to mix and mingle in creative circles outside of my usual comforts!”
Amelia Watson, Contemporary Dancer and Choreographer
“With the support from HA>NESS I was able to achieve things that I had never dreamed of achieving within my career.”
HA>NESS Donor
“Supporting emerging artists find their way into successful and creative careers in the Arts brings me joy. What would Adelaide (and the world) be without art?”
Ellis Moseley, Contemporary Artist
“The HA>NESS grant gave me the opportunity to experiment and push my practice forward into new and exciting areas. Without the support of HA>NESS to try new materials and techniques, the development of my practice would be significantly slower, and I would not have been able to achieve the quality outcomes I have.”

“It’s a privilege to be part of a donor circle that not only champions but also cultivates the fresh talents that are vital to the vibrancy of our emerging arts community.”
Sally Craven, Contemporary Artist
“HA>NESS supported me to undertake a residency that has been an important moment in my career. I am built momentum and international connections with curators and artists; creating foundations for future projects and collaborations. I have expanded my technical skills working with marble for the first time alongside experts in the field, in the local environment of Paros, Greece, where the material is in abundance.”
