Hervey Bay Council for the Arts - Working towards encouraging all aspects of the Arts. Hervey Bay Council for the Arts is the local branch of Queensland Arts Council. We are a non-profit community, organization which supports all local Artists, Musicians, Dancers, Writers etc as well as Queensland Arts Council Touring Arts. With Hervey Bay's population growing at an explosive rate this is an opportunity to display the growing artistic talents of the local community, attract recognition for the artists, allow them exposure to the general public giving them an opportunity to grow and professionalise their performances as well as attracting families and older people, who would not normally access the arts on a regular basis.
